The 2 languages are good at different things.
Combine english with chinese into one language would be fantastic. In a way, that is already happening.
Chinese is very condensed in meaning & emotion, and also stable. Even though the characters are being simplified, there is a one to one mapping between traditional & simplified characters. It is fantastic for conveying epic stories and sayings. |

No. Chinglish is misuse of english influenced by a chinese native tongue.
I think of it as extended chinese. |
