There are many regional variants of the Chinese language spoken in mainland China, the People's Republic of China, and they are not mutually intelligible, that is to say, one variant is not understood by those who speak another., so it would depend on which region in China you were talking about.

Mandarin is the official language of China, with 836 million people who speak it. However, 77 million Chinese speak Wu, 71 million speak Cantonese, 60 million speak Min (including the people who live in Taiwan), 45 million speak Jin (a subgroup of Mandarin), 36 million speak Hakka (worldwide, not just in China, and 31 million speak Gan. Then there are 3.2 million who speak Hui (a subgroup of Wu) and 2 million people who speak Ping ( a subgroup of Cantonese).
