For years - for many decades, Indians have been surprised by Chinese speaking
to them in fluent Hindi. Someone wrote about it in the press recently - a
Chinese immigration officer welcoming a tourist in Hindi.
But the opposite is not happening to a very great extent - i.e. Indians
learning Chinese.
There's always a problem with generalizing from a small sample[1].
