Depends on the area. I worked in a part of Brooklyn for years (all the way until 2024) where I needed to ensure we had Cantonese speaking employees because it was much more prevalent than Mandarin.

Interesting. It's also my understanding that Mandarin became so dominant in China due to the CCP pushing it. Guess maybe those feeling oppressed by such mandates were more likely to leave the country?
