I watched Bush and Hu today on CNN. Bush didn't provide a translator |

for HU? That's gotta be a first...and very, very rude. Did anyone else see any reports on this? Did they add a translator later on in the day for the "news clips" from the cables?
I turned it off before the end but all the other dignataries have had translators after every paragraph or two of their speeches. :shrug:

2. I'm pretty sure Hu did not need a translator |
|
I think I recall my wife saying that all the Chinese leaders can speak & understand English... however, they usually choose not to speak it in public occasions as Chinese can sometimes be sensitive about their accents, and they also don't want to say something wrong by mistake.

6. he was in other places with a translator, so maybe his knowledge |
|
is decent, but he needs a little help to get the full translation especially when things are moving quickly? hell, I need a translator to understand bush.

5. Which is why he grabbed his coat when he went to the |
|
other stairs. Idiot could not talk to him because since *ss does not even know how to talk English, he sure would not know how to speak in Chinese.
