Why is it all American English? Why should British English be ignored?

I feel that the original poster’s question is a bit similar to why popular music in Hong Kong and Taiwan is so popular, while folk songs and operas are in decline. Although the UK is the birthplace of English, the development of the language requires innovation and change, and is closely related to a country's political, economic and cultural status in the world. For example, printing and papermaking were invented by the Chinese, but the quality of China's printed matter and paper still has a lot of room for improvement compared with developed countries.

British English used to be taken more seriously in China because the relationship between China and the United States was relatively tense. (I guess so.) There are many reasons why American English is more popular,

1) The accent is easier to learn and the word changes are rich (some nouns can be used as verbs, etc.)

< p>2) The United States has Hollywood, but the British film industry is relatively weak.

3) American rap, hip-hop music and NBA basketball stars are deeply loved by young people around the world.

4) The internet originated and developed in the United States, so many computer technology terms are based on American English. The world's top three search websites, Google, Yahoo, and MSN, are all headquartered in the United States. Baidu is currently the sixth largest search network.

5) The United States plays an important role in international politics, economy, military and science and technology. For example, the currency used in international trade is the US dollar.

Since the poster has a special liking for British English, he can continue to learn British English. These days, adhering to personal style is more worthy of admiration than blindly following trends. The more diverse the world becomes, the better. The host doesn't need to feel sad. I think schools should pay more attention to Chinese education and not forget their mother tongue after learning English, which is putting the cart before the horse.
