Not to denigrate Chinese officials, but they need to speak better English first, particularly the art of debating in English.

That's some backwards ass logic if I've ever seen any. These are Chinese officials serving the Chinese nation. They have no obligation to learn English. What kind of subservient white worshiping nonsense is this? You belong in the 20th century.

The Chinese foreign ministry as a whole should learn from him. That’s literally how you should deal with those rats.

Context matters.

Most of the Chinese diplomats speak English way better than the Saudi oil minister in that tweet.

Tiger Yang BTFO Blinken in Alaska in Chinese Language, the whole world understood his words. He could have done the same in English, but there is no need since the Chinese language is of equal status in the world. Rise of China means end of Anglo worshipping in all domains, including language.

OPEC+ will hold meetings once every two months instead of once every month from now on.

This makes the U.S.' position untenable.

Edit: Suddenly people calling for a massive increase in renewable energy like solar panels.
Hey, just out of curiosity, who's the largest solar panel manufacturer in the world? Where are they based?

I gave Like by mistake. I meant the opposite. No reason to speak or learn English. That is Indian-like slave mentality.

Lol say what? Perhaps, the west should learn to speak putonghua if they want to even understand Chinese properly.

Irrelevant info but that Saudi Energy Minister is actually a Saudi Royal or more specifically a Saudi Prince.

Again, context matters. In a diplomatic setting between peers no diplomat is expected to speak in any language other than their own. That's what interpreters are for.

So to clarify in case I wasn't already clear, my reply was in response to LawLeadsToPeace's desire for Chinese officials to have such ability as that of the Saudi energy minister in his dressing-down of the reporter.

Unlike CMP as he's so keen to react, I have no personal desire to express my opinion on what foreign language Chinese government officials should or shouldn't learn to speak.
