I feel like Xi's English is better than people think. I think he uses a translator mostly because he can express himself better in Mandarin.
77 0 ReplyHis English is probably enough to get by day-to-day but nowhere near enough to conduct affairs of state in an official capacity.
32 0 ReplyThat's how they say it in the EU parliament. Even if you can talk in English you should just talk in your native language and get interpreted by supposedly best of the best interpreters
17 0 ReplyHis English is way better than you'd think. In fact I think when he attended that embarrassing meeting with the U.S. a few years ago he had to interrupt the translator once or twice to correct them while they were trying to relay his statements in English. I wish I could remember the exact meeting.
5 0 ReplyI think I remember him talking to trump without a translator. The conversation went:
Trump: China is a very old country
Xi: yes
Trump: Is it older than Egypt?
Xi: no, Egypt is older.

49 0 ReplyJohn deer actively fight against right to repair laws on their equipment fuck a John deer. The fact that chuds were able to spin that as woke is fucking insane.
