Answer 1

My English is just as bad as it was before 1987!  I blame Margaret Thatcher for this.

Answer 2

Only if you think they somehow magically changed the people too. No, it hasn't gotten worse. The schools in both mainland China and definitely Hong Kong both teach English as part of the curriculum. Once you get to high school, classes are taught in English. This hasn't changed.

Answer 3
