In fact if you were following this you'd know Bonnie Glaser does speak Chinese and PLAOps deleted his account.
So she asserts, but have you ever seen her speak or write Chinese? I've looked through her tweets and replies all the way to Dec 2018 and she's never written in Chinese nor shared an link written in Chinese. The only times any Chinese language appears is when she retweets somebody else who is doing the interpretation of a Chinese text, aka she is retweeting an English explanation of a Chinese text. She never does that herself. Others mentioned in the original thread that they've never seen her speak Chinese in any of her interviews etc.

Well, no I haven't, in fact I only first heard of her yesterday! She did post some tweets in Chinese is reply to *that post* but of course she could be using Google translate.

As for @PLAOps I found his tweets interesting and informative, don't understand the hate he was getting.

She's an American and a politician. Both of these are things known for puffing themselves up with presentations and BS like a guy wearing a muscle suit under his shirt at work.

"I am proficient in 15 languages." - Translation: I can say hello in 15 languages.
"I have extensive experience in engineering." - Translation: I took shop class in high school.
"I have dedicated my career to becoming a China expert." - I troll Chinese forums on Google translate and took some pics with falun gong.

Discovered this in like 2 years of following some western think tank analyst. I really though they could speak and understand Chinese and stuff. But they never seemed to have published something in Chinese or do long form Chinese interview its always english. Hell even Kevin Rudd all i see him do is point is finger at the ceiling wiggle it and say 2~3 Chinese sentences it does make you wonder is he really such a China expert.
