This photo epitomizes what is wrong with China, they cant speak English. To most people this would seem ethnocentric (for you dumb dumbs this means having a bias to one’s own country and ways), but for me, it is not. The reason is that the Chinese probably study English for as long as we do, and for the most part when they speak they sound as if they are gnoshinig on sizzling cowboy bone, see photo from yesterday, and treat the language with as much disrespect as they did a ‘capitalist roader’ in the 60’s.
This, however, I can tolerate and actually their spoken English, at least in BJ is much better than other parts of China, but wtf is up with their writing? They, from the age of zero are prodded to enter English training schools, English camps and fed a steady diet of foreign nonsense vz films and cartoons. And if this is so, then why cannot they not master the simplest of things such as SVO sentences and the tenses?
As the photo shows, the Chinese, when allowed choices, ie, the English language when compared to the noxious rootings, foot stompings and feral growls that the locals have formed into a ‘language’, the Chinese cannot mentally assimilate. Chinese is a language with few choices they have 150,000 characters or so, that is it. So taking into account the illusory ‘tones’ which means the change in pitch that resonates through the empty skull of the beleaguered peoeple’s republic of china person before you, the chinese have what, a couple hundred thousand words in their whole mish-mashed mush mouthed speech? The chinese would never tolerate a 2Pac or Anfreny, their language does not support it. And the chinese need rules/ boundaries.
Thus, the Chinese, when not given a template, Ie. you say hello, and they will reply ‘hello how are you’ but if you say ‘hi’ or ‘whats up?” they are stumped, their minds dont work that way- stay with the script. Thus, thus, thus, the authors of this plaque had way too many choices of words and being a typical chiense person allowed this to be a detriment to himself and his work….
