This is much more likely to be accurate than I am. Thanks and sorry for doing real work :)
My only challenge which is just as pointless as the previous is that I believe these tools rely on data gathered from browser plugins and ISPs which might bid them to US audiences.
With that said the English speaking fact is very strong. India’s tech literate population is dominated by English so I’ll stand behind that assumption but you are almost certainly right that this would put Chinese visitors in a bit of a minority. Thanks so much for engaging. HN needs more of this good faith back and forth, as does the Internet in general.
Alexa and SimilarWeb both agreed US is still by a large margin where the most traffic come from, with India being in the top five. Can't attest to the accuracy but at least it's data.
Consider the fact that English is a (required in school but still) foreign language in China, it's probably not super popular (back) there, although I could be (happily) incorrect.
