Impossible. This belongs to the ASB section.
Why not have Chinese become the national language of UK then !?
All it said is "more prominent" that's easy for a POD have some random guy decides to take English classes and now English is slightly more prominent
If China gets richer faster it shouldn't be too hard to get China obsessed with English education in the same way that South Korea is. Won't mean THAT much English but will mean lots of people with basic proficiency.
The way things are going, that may be a possibility. But Chinese is very difficult to speak and even more difficult to write, even for Chinese people.
Perhaps if after the Opium Wars the British had taken more extensive concessions and established schools. I see no way China could be colonized without swallowing the invaders as it always has but then the British were able to accomplish this in India. If in India, why not China?

As difficult as irregardless, uninevitable, recieve, could of, to/too/two, comiittee, etc. mostly the same old rant about "youngsters these days..."
And as EternalCynic pointed out, even the Mao who pushed through GLF and CR had problems getting support to further simplify the language.

There’s nothing impossible about it in any respect.
I don’t think you understand the scenario.
It's ASB and it does sound as a "naughty" question to make other people angry.
Why don't you answer my question : Why not have Chinese become the national language of your country then !? No need to become 1st but you can make it as 2nd or 3rd.
How do you feel about it then ? Are you going to feel happy !?
Then it's not impossible to have the similar reverse situation applied in your country then; Chinese becomes a "more prominent" - make it at least a second national language in YOUR COUNTRY.
You're the one who don't understand other people's feeling to the original question.
A typical mentality of "I say whatever I want; other people? I don't care about other people's feeling".
I have already mentioned before that it does sound to me that "more prominent" means something which is more like at least the 2nd or 3rd national language of China.
