I don't believe English will decline despite the population and economic growth of China and India. English as a second language is fast becoming the norm in those countries as they are often forced to learn it in school. More likely, Asian countries will adapt to English rather than the other way around. Although, I guess with increasing trade between China and the Western world, being competent at Chinese would be a useful trait.
