A bunch of them are likely Chinese or Taiwanese, the latter might also speak Mandarin.
Furthermore, I work in Estonia and all technical communication is in English. Source code is in English. To my coworkers and our clients I speak in Estonian. I suspect if China is going to be bringing in western engineers to their projects, they'll also accommodate for English speakers.

I think you'd be surprised to discover how many people speak English as a second language, thanks to its extensive use in business and law. Even (perhaps especially) in China, where US-Chinese trade relations have been going strong since Nixon shook hands with Mao.
Only in the last ten years has the relationship between Wall Street and Hong Kong/Shanghai degraded and the appeal of English as a business language fallen by the wayside.
Can learn
Technical talk is always half english anyway
More than half of all new engineers of the world are chinese.
