Is Chinese going to be the lingua franca?

I read that China in many aspects will become #1 in a decade, and in decades Mandarin will be the lingua franca instead of English.

true?

I doubt Chinese could overcome the international influence of English. There may be more native speakers of Chinese, but they are concentrated in China, whereas dozens of countries on all continents have English as an official language, including India, the only other country with a billion people in it.
