According to Wikipedia it says for mainland China that The oft-cited figure of 300 million is for "learners." If the number of very fluent English speakers in this country is more than the United States, that's too much to me because I like the percentage on wikipedia to stay pretty similar.

Why do Chinese people have a hard time learning English?

Chinese students tend to find the pronunciation of the "r" and "ph" sounds the hardest part of learning English. However, all students vary in their ability to learn a foreign language or anything else for that matter. You can't say Chinese as a race have difficulty learning English any more than you can say Americans have difficulty learning Arabic. In my experience many children in English speaking countries have difficulty learning English and often go right through the school system without ever learning it properly.
