Why do you assume Chinese officials, especially the foreign ministry can't debate in English? Just because they don't respond back in English because that would be beneath them and denigrate the Chinese language, doesn't mean they don't have a good grasp of debating in English.

For example, look at this takedown of Pelosi by Fu Ying at Munich Security Conference 2020.

Seems like Pelosi has dedicated all of her brain cells to insider trading. I mean there are so many examples she could have used like Facebook or Google ban. Instead can't even think of a proper retort...

Good, tell that to whoever thinks China needs to own western journos in their tongue at press conferences like the Saudis do, or the Indians, or whomever.

Still, I think some of you need to work on your own English when my comment seems to keep getting mis-interpreted as "Chinese officials should learn to speak English and argue in it" when I'd suggested nothing of the sort.

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.

If i remember correctly, Tiger Yang's english is better than the translators lol

Bulgaria will exempt fuel supplies from the embargo, in view of the country’s economic plight

Energy-starved Bulgaria will temporarily cease to enforce EU sanctions on Russian fuel, to ensure the work of government institutions, the state press service reported on Wednesday following a Cabinet meeting.

According to the report, Russian companies supplying automotive fuel will be exempt from the embargo until the end of 2024, due to shortages in the country.

“It is permitted to conclude new state contracts and framework agreements with automotive fuel suppliers from the Russian Federation after October 10, 2022... An exception is introduced due to the need to ensure the normal operation of state bodies and other structures requiring motor fuel, in order to protect public order, the life and health of the citizens of Bulgaria, and national security,” the press service announced. The ban will come back into force on December 31, 2024.

The dominant fuel provider in the Balkan country is the Neftochim Burgas refinery, which is owned by Russia's Lukoil. Until the sanctions, half of its oil supply came from Russia.

In early September, the head of the Bulgarian Finance Ministry, Rositsa Velkova, announced her intention to obtain permission from Brussels to continue buying fuel from Russia until at least the end of 2024. If Sophia does not receive a reprieve from the sanctions, the country’s drivers risk being left without fuel, the minister stressed.
