I would guess that most "Chinese" restaurants in England and Australia 
at one time served only Cantonese dishes, although that is slowly 
changing. However, I had not been thinking about Chinese people in the 
UK or US or Australia so much as the many people of Chinese ancestry in 
Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and surrounding countries who, I thought, 
spoke a Cantonese dialect.
