Mandarin is actually somewhat inefficient. It could never be the global language.
It is the official language of China, but there are many people who cannot speak it. Besides, it sounds awful.

That's why I put it in quotation marks. Taking into account population projections it looks like a massive part of the world's population will be speaking Mandarin (as in even much more than today). Who knows what the benefits to being able to speak Mandarin then will be? IF it becomes like what english is today to the rest of the world, I'll probably try to learn it.
