As for speaking 'standard English' I'm puzzled - what is that? There are a whole range of 'Englishes' even in a single country. Boston English may be different from Alabama English (BTW, it's not allowed to buy a dildo in that place according to obscenity laws - conservatism ...?) Birmingham UK English may be different from Brighton UK English and so on. China is a land of contradictions, which is what makes the place more interesting to me.

All sounds open-minded, albeit total nonsense. Many Americans and English people speak good English, The Queen's English, although maybe with a slight accent across the pond and in Scotland. You shouldn't try and teach learners to speak the way some do in the Bronx, Alabama, in Glasgow slums or in Uganda, otherwise they will not be understood properly.
