    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.

      His English is probably enough to get by day-to-day but nowhere near enough to conduct affairs of state in an official capacity.

      That’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

      His 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.

    Fun fact: Muscatine, Iowa is apparently now a popular destination for Chinese tourists because they wanna see the spot where Xi rode a tractor in 2012

          Yeah, the couple on the left are the Dvorchacks who hosted Xi in the Star Trek bedroom which is now forever part of his lore. The lady in red next to him is the one who organized the whole thing. This was from his 2012 visit and they had another reunion during his SF visit last year but it was wisely closed to the press.

    Tractors transcend language. In Three Body Problem they should have bonded with the Trisolarans over tractors and we’d have had galactic peace

      If you make it to the 3rd book that almost comes close to what you are wanting. At least I think so.

    Socialism is when tractors, and the more tractors you have the more socialist you are.

      John 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.

        Chuds can spin anything as woke. They have no contact with reality anymore, so they can freely make shit up.

    If the Communist Party of the Soviet Union still ruled, we would’ve gotten Tractor and Tankies as a variant of the typical hammer and sickle… sicko-wistful
