Mandarin has 4 tones. I can only hear 2. The lack of rhythm also doesn’t help. Lastly, there are pronunciation issues. https://t.co/MrXIM5Ac5m

Note that, (1) she is FIVE DAYS early in her greeting, (2) no sitting Vice President has greeted PRC on its anniversary, at the very least, this way.

We have a perfect description of this in Tagalog: “nakatanghod.” https://t.co/xvlFjdCkY4

I still can't believe her team really let her do this. Makes you wonder kung gaano kalala ang utang ng mga Duterte sa China. DDS vloggers have to scour the tiniest details of VP Leni's interviews tapos itong fake VP na to just handed us the most embarrassing clip they can do. 😂 https://t.co/5dlu8lOqpn

Horrible pronunciation and intonation. She should fire whoever advised her to do this.

Think Las Vegas Mowdels but 10x more cringe. https://t.co/gMlTfGf2wl
