Globalization is an inevitable issue in the world, bringing borders between countries closer together. Thanks to sophisticated technology, the mobility of local culture, music, knowledge and goods has improved. Since we want to communicate with other races of people, we will use a language as a bridge. Therefore, English becomes a globalizing language due to its clear structure and format.

English has a special role in the world. It offers us the opportunity to preserve our culture while we are experiencing globalization. Since the distribution of power and the political system can influence the globalized and dominated position of English, another language could replace English after a couple of decades. Since China has more reputation nowadays, non-native speakers try to master Putonghua to have more business interactions with China. It is not a dream for Putonghua to assume the status of English as a globalizing language.
