  Most drivers have basic conversational english. 

  However if they see that you are chinese, they would speak to you in chinese instead.

  Other than their inability to converse in English, I prefer China drivers over the local uncles as they drive much faster and smoother. They can maintain a speed without resolving to depressing and releasing the accelerator every two seconds like local uncles. The locals are sometimes so horrible that they can make Citaros feel jerky and choppy. I love how the China drivers are much braver than the locals when driving DDs. Finally I can experience HK-like speeds on DDs driven by China drivers. Never knew VO3X here could be so blisteringly fast when floored.
