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
Didn't he lived there as a young student for some years/months?
yep and the family he stayed with still adores him and he has visited them recently
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.
Spoiling the entire series for myself is what got me interested but I know the tractorpill is just a ruse
Big machines are just fun! And even more fun when they’re pilotable!
Get into the EVA, Xi 
Socialism is when tractors, and the more tractors you have the more socialist you are.
Turns out my hyper reactionary grandpa is actually Lenin reborn based on his home decor
just checking out the competition, China is the #1 tractor supplier to the world
and they don't charge John Deere prices either
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.
evil chinese dicktator climbs onto a tractor heedless of hurried denials of trained workers 
Xi really is a guy being a dude
welcome to the club.
Xi confirmed based and Tonka-pilled
It’s joever
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.... 
dudes rock
Crank your tractor!
He's just like me.
