Cnetz reaction to Yoona's Chinese Speaking Skills! • Her Chinese is better than the "Chinese people" in the drama. • Her Chinese is way better than the other actors in the drama who were pretending to be Chinese. • Why is her pronunciation so perfect? • She's just excellent. When she came to China, she learned Chinese for her fans. People said she could just come, but she insisted on learning. When she filmed an escape movie, she trained in rock climbing; when she played a chef, she went through professional cooking training. She did all her scenes herself, even plated and made the food shots personally. Truly the strongest female idol alive. Even the concept of "center position (C-position)" originated because Lee Soo-man said when Yoona stands in the middle, everyone around her looks prettier. • Back then, she worked really hard to learn Chinese to make it in China. Among all the pure Korean idols I've seen, her Chinese is the best. • Yoona doesn't often stay within Chinese-speaking circles, yet she can still hold conversations like this -that's truly impressive. Speaking good Chinese isn't just about pronunciation; understanding and joking naturally like she does is what makes it a real skill. 🔗: #LimYoonA #YOONA #윤아 #임윤아

Com says “Li can speak fluent Mandarin” and describes you as an “ethnic Chinese girl” running for US CONGRESS. I have also uncovered a video of you speaking Mandarin in an interview with “Chinese Radio Seattle” about your campaign. See below. 👇🏻 Why are you lying about not knowing how to speak Chinese? What else are you lying about? Do you work for the CCP and are you trying to infiltrate and subvert the GOP? Why did you lie? E and I will keep investigating you and we will be publishing our findings. See receipts below, 👇🏻 Which includes a video of you speaking Chinese when you ran for Congress.

> This is Wu Wenxia, who won Miss World 2012 without speaking in English. She spoke entirely in Mandarin, her mother tongue. 🇨🇳 > Meanwhile, the Indian contestant who spoke chaste English failed to even reach Top 3. > While the Chinese studies medicine + engineering, the Indian is busy reading English poetry + social justice > Indians are some of the most mentally colonized people on the planet, I tell you. > You don't get extra points for speaking in English at the international level because others don't think speaking English is an actual skill

The amount of hate I’ve seen toward Lord of the Mysteries’ donghua (Chinese anime) simply for having Chinese voice actors is genuinely concerning. You do realize it’s a Chinese novel being adapted by a Chinese studio, right? Ofc, the voice acting is in Chinese… What else did you expect? Some of you overly glorify Japanese just because you’re used to it. The only reason it feels “better” to you is familiarity. As more high quality donghua gain popularity, Mandarin will become just as natural to hear. And if you’re a LOTM fan complaining about this… Mr. Digit † TikTok story sums up my thoughts perfectly: “So let me get this straight… Some of you (yk yourselves) are fans of a novel from a Chinese writer, which originated from China, became popular because of China, spread mainly because of Chinese fan artists, is a major part of the Chinese novel space, only got a game, manhua, and donghua mainly due to the support of the Chinese fandom, praise the animation of the donghua from a Chinese-based company, and yet… You constantly complain about how the donghua is dubbed in Chinese for an animation you didn’t even contribute a cent to? Lol… how hypocritical and shameless can one get?”

It would be funny and ridiculous if a Chinese speaking reporter went up to western politicians and asked big questions in Chinese Mandarin instead of English. But the reverse of that situation is exactly the standard in China for western journalists for a long time. You are not getting accurate information on China and many would argue it is intentional. Great thread by Dr Luke below on the recent Mandarin language stuff all over western media👇 It bothers me that people are being lied to constantly. So I meditate and speak my piece and let it go. Until another ridiculous thing happens and I feel the urge to speak again. But sometimes I just ignore it and sleep more. I highly recommend sleeping more. Good day!

Chinese netizens are outraged and seeking the deportation of a foreign social media influencer who posted prank movies framing Chinese people for stealing and mocking them to see how they react. In a TikTok video posted three days ago, the lady seized a Chinese girl's phone and accused the store clerk of stealing it. She enjoyed the Chinese's uneasiness and captioned the photo, "I heard there are no thieves in China." She pulled another prank in which she touched random Chinese men on the subway and recorded their uncomfortable reactions. Furious Chinese internet users speculated that one of the guys she touched, who appeared visibly surprised and traumatized, might be a minor. Tens of thousands of incensed Chinese have taken to Weibo to demand that the foreign social media influencer be deported from China, with the hashtag "Foreign Social Media Influncer Slanders Chinese" rising to the top of the trending topics. The Chinese netizens claim that the influencer is abusing the friendliness of the Chinese people and disrespecting their culture. It is highly offensive and even punishable by law in China to make physical contact with a complete stranger. China has severe criminal penalties for falsely accusing another person of stealing. We invite friends from all over the world to visit China, but please respect our culture and laws.

Why do these Japanese think it's a win to make themselves look like deranged retards, who would follow rules like idiots follow GPS off a cliff? 1️⃣She's not speaking Chinese. 2️⃣She's speaking very softly. 3️⃣He touched her without consent. 4️⃣You can hear other Japanese talking louder than her in the background. 5️⃣See the color of his arm? The uploader of the video is Brazilian, who often post racist contents against Chinese in Japan. This is the video with volume turned up, she's not speaking Chinese, but it makes no different for these jap racists, who would construct entire fake narratives to target any group of people. Today it's Chinese in Japan, the next it's Korean, then after that Southeast Asians. Last year when this video was circulating on X, japanese cheered this racist from Brazil, but as Brazil is set to go up against Japan in the World Cup, racist Japanese have started attacking Brazilians for being brown.😂

An 82-year-old Cuban pilot went viral on Chinese social media after recounting his friendship with and studies in China during the 1960s and asking about the cost of a flight from Havana to Beijing to a Chinese tourist. Living in a cramped room with just one bed in Cuba, the 82-year-old is known as "Tito" on Chinese social media. When a Chinese female tourist walked by his door, he tried to converse with her despite her language barrier and initial shock. The girl later discovered that Tito was a Cuban pilot who studied aviation in Shanxi Province, China, from 1961 to 1963. Tito showed her his Chinese PLA graduation certificate and told her that he missed China and that most of his pilot friends had already died. After that, he asked how much a plane ticket from Havana to Beijing would cost. The girl later shared the video on Chinese social media, describing Tito as "the lonely grandfather in Cuba." She mentioned that Tito kept a little notebook in which he planned to jot down his inquiries for the Chinese and his wish lists for sites to visit in China. It appears that he had made repeated attempts to strike up conversations with Asian tourists who passed his door, but they all thought he was strange and quickly left. In Tito's notebook, you can still see Chinese expressions like "How are you?" "When will you leave?" and "When are you planning to return?" Tito's story has moved many Chinese internet users, who are rallying to help him get a plane ticket to China or locate his Chinese friends. In September 1961, the Cuban Air Force chose 223 young pilots (average age less than 20) to study in China. They were among the first international students to come to China, as the Chinese netizens learnt later. A Chinese netizen later claimed on social media that his grandfather was Tito's teacher at the time. The story of Tito has gone viral on Chinese social media. The official account of the Chinese PLA Air Force left a comment under Tito’s video, stating that they had been attempting to get in touch with Tito. The comment said that the Chinese PLA will never forget a friend like Tito and that their friendship will transcend space and time. Today is the Lantern Festival in China, a time for family reunions. The Chinese embassy in Cuba invited Tito and other Cuban pilots who had studied in China for their youth to attend the festival feast, where they reminisced and sang many Chinese songs together. The Chinese have an old proverb: "滴水之恩当涌泉相报" (A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring), being grateful is a virtue in Chinese culture; we always give back when someone helps us. The life and work of Canadian surgeon Norman Bethune is a topic included in Chinese school curricula; his heroic contributions to our cause during World War II are emphasized in our textbooks, and his legacy lives on in China. John Rabe, a German merchant who rescued some 250,000 Chinese people from the Nanjing Massacre, and his family are still very much loved and respected by the Chinese people. Thomas Rabe, a doctor at the medicinal Faculty of Heidelberg University in Heidelberg, southwest Germany, and grandson of John Rabe, sent a plea to the Chinese embassy in Germany in March 2020 for medicinal supplies to help his hospital battle the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, with all of the necessary assistance and coordination, medical supplies given from various sources, including medicines, protective suits, and masks, arrived in Germany from China. Chinese embassy staff raced from Berlin to Heidelberg, a distance of 700 kilometers, to expedite the delivery of supplies to the Heidelberg administration, the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University, and Dr. Thomas Rabe.

Meltdown on an AirAsia flight from Chongqing, translated by The Great Translation Movement 大翻译运动 AirAsia flight D7809 Chongqing to Kuala Lumpur. A woman claiming to be a former China Southern Airlines flight attendant explodes because safety announcements were in English. She demands: “International flights must include Mandarin!” Crew tries calming her down. No dice. Airport police escort her off. Did you felt that more Chinese passengers are getting noticeably more sensitive about airlines not defaulting to Mandarin, and these scenes are becoming all too common especially on low-cost carrier. We remember a month or two ago same thing happened in Hong Kong and the ground crew was fired. Can AirAsia comment on this incident? Entitlement, fragile nationalism, or just the new normal for outbound travel? What do you think? #China #AirAsia #Entitlement #Aviation #Mandarin #GreatTranslationMovement #TGTM

In Aug 2025, Elsa Johnson, a Stanford student, wrote a piece for The Times about how members of the CCP tried to recruit her as a spy. Since then, the junior, who is majoring in East Asian Studies, has faced a wave of harassment from Mandarin speakers who have called her and threatened her and her family. The FBI also informed Johnson that the CCP is physically monitoring her whereabouts on campus — making her fear for her own safety. On Mar 26 she testified before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, urging Congress to do something to protect America’s students who “face transnational repression”, given that Stanford “has chosen not to address this problem at all”. Here is an abridged and lightly edited version of her testimony. ======= After I wrote a first-person account of my experience in The Times of London, the repression only worsened. Last summer, while conducting research on China in Washington, DC, I began receiving regular phone calls from unknown US numbers. When I answered the calls in English, the callers would switch to Mandarin. In one case, the caller referenced my mother. These bizarre calls were intimidation attempts, designed to remind me that neither my family, nor I, is safe from transnational repression by the CCP. Then, this past fall, the FBI informed me that I am being physically monitored on Stanford’s campus by agents of the Chinese Communist Party. They told me that my family is also at risk and is being monitored. As a 21-year-old who grew up loving the Chinese language and culture, I never imagined that studying it would put me in a position where a foreign intelligence service is tracking my movements on my own campus and monitoring my family. I fear for my safety and for my family’s safety. The intimidation calls have not stopped. Just this week, I received another call from a US number. After exchanging hellos, the caller switched to Mandarin and asked whether I had finished dinner. That cannot be a coincidence. It is happening to me on American soil because I reported on the activities of a foreign government at an American university. My experience is disturbing, but it reflects a much larger pattern playing out on campuses across the country. According to Freedom House, the Chinese government is the greatest perpetrator of transnational repression targeting students and scholars in the United States. Their 2024 report found that international students and faculty face surveillance and coercion by foreign governments. More than 1.3 million international students study at American colleges and universities, yet many are unable to exercise the freedoms that are supposed to define an American education. There is also infrastructure already embedded on American campuses that facilitates this system. Chinese Students and Scholars Associations (CSSAs) exist at roughly 150 American colleges and universities, including Stanford. The US State Department has stated plainly that the CCP created the CSSA to monitor Chinese students and mobilize them against views that dissent from the Party’s stance. The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission found in 2018 that CSSAs receive guidance from the CCP through Chinese embassies and consulates, and that they are active in carrying out work consistent with Beijing’s United Front strategy. In some cases, the local Chinese consulate must approve CSSA presidential candidates. Documents obtained by Foreign Policy showed that at Georgetown, the CSSA accepted embassy funding amounting to roughly half its total annual budget. The Association of Chinese Students and Scholars at Stanford, or ACSSS, is a recognized student organisation that receives university support and funding. The CCP’s United Front uses these organisations as vehicles for surveillance and influence. American universities are supposed to be places where people can think and speak freely. Right now, for too many students, they are not.

A video of a Chinese dude who took his old mom to a restaurant to celebrate her birthday and received birthday greetings from many strangers has gone viral on Chinese social media, with many netizens applauding such kindness and care that strangers showed to each other. The man, who took his mother to a restaurant in Nantong, Jiangsu province, asked the customers if they could applaud for her and wish her a happy birthday. "I believe my mother is the most beautiful and loving person on the planet. Sorry for bothering you, but can you just wish her a happy birthday when I call her mom?" As they gladly helped the man, the strangers' heartfelt wishes moved the elderly woman to tears. "Of all virtues, filial piety comes first (百善孝为先)" is an ancient Chinese saying. Chinese culture values the knowledge of the old and views caring for them as a societal responsibility. Those who disregard and mistreat the elderly will be judged poorly by society.

🚨 Illegal Chinese Immigrant Openly Speaks Chinese at San Gabriel City Council Meeting — Demands to “China-fy” American Cities! This guy, Xiao Tang (TikTok: laxiaotang), illegally sneaked into the U.S. just 3 years ago. Now he’s bold enough to give a speech in Chinese at the San Gabriel City Council, demanding the city cancel waste management contracts and claiming to speak for “all Chinese residents.” Even more outrageous: He was illegally selling cars to other illegal immigrants. He runs an unlicensed street food business selling Chinese pancakes, making $10,000 to $20,000 per month — tax-free. He was arrested for illegal operations, but local police knew he was an illegal immigrant and released him instead of handing him over to ICE. He has 500,000 followers on Chinese social media and is being hyped as a “successful overseas Chinese role model.” His stated goals: Run for Mayor of Los Angeles within 3 years. Make Chinese an official language of the city. Even worse — 10 months ago he openly declared in a video: “When the CCP invades America one day, I will stand on the Golden Gate Bridge to welcome my comrades and clear the way for them! All the money I make in America will be donated to the Chinese military!” This is not just an illegal immigrant — this is a CCP agent openly working to transform American cities from within! Starting with one city: speaking Chinese at council meetings, manipulating local policy, running for mayor… step by step turning America into a Chinese colony. San Gabriel, Monterey Park, Arcadia… these Chinese-heavy areas are being systematically infiltrated. We urgently call on @ICE, FBI, and CIA to take immediate action!Thoroughly investigate this individual’s background, funding sources, social media activity, and all similar “successful overseas Chinese” figures tied to CCP united front operations. Once one American city falls under CCP influence, it will be too late to regret it! MAGA must fight back! America First — We will NOT allow the Chinese Communist Party to colonize our cities! 🇺🇸💥 Solomon Yue Wall Street Apes Eric Daugherty James Woods Steve Hilton Steven Cheung Alex Chen Spencer Pratt Follow Helen 🇺🇸👉PASS THE SAVE ACT, Helen MAGA❤️💪🇺🇸 Every day brings either excitement or shock!

The Chinese have limited understanding of the West. In recent weeks, Chinese military circles have extensively discussed the U.S. operation in Venezuela, attributing its success primarily to the decapitation of the regime. All Chinese analyses center on the collapse of the defense chain and the subservience that resulted from the leadership vacuum. The Chinese seem almost incapable, at least initially, of considering the reverse scenario: that U.S. intelligence, by infiltrating circles close to Maduro over many months and negotiating compensations, managed to neutralize the entire chain, delivering Maduro in exchange for preserving the governing structure. The Chinese are analyzing the U.S. approach in the context of Taiwan, focusing on decapitation of the central leadership. But suppose the Chinese were willing to spend tens of millions of dollars. Even then, the level of corruption in Taiwan is not comparable to the situation among Venezuela’s military. Although more than 150 people have been indicted since 2020 for spying for China, and the majority of them are active or retired military personnel,this does not mean the high command would be susceptible to the kind of structural sabotage seen in Venezuela. The Chinese already know every inch of Taiwan’s governmental structure and conduct military training on full-scale replicas, constructed as a mock district since last year. However, what would the situation look like under a pro-China government? Could similar self-sabotage actions occur, as seen in Venezuela? It seems to me that the Chinese will also consider this scenario. Even so, the Chinese still have much to learn and will come to realize that the level of negotiations between the U.S. and Latin American governments is quite different from the dynamics they maintain with Taiwan.
