Nicolás Maduro Tells Reporter to Speak Mandarin

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro Moros brushed off a question asked in English at the end of his state visit (September 08-14) to China, telling a reporter to speak Chinese instead. 

 

“Speak Mandarin, there’s no translation in English”, Maduro cut off the reporter from Hong Kong. 

 

And added: “It’s the new world!” 

 

The exchange was captured on video and quickly made rounds on social media. 

 

“We are in the 21st century, the century of the end of hegemonism and imperialism, the century in which a different, multipolar, and multicentric world was born for peace and unity”, Maduro said at a press conference, according to the Venezuelan broadcaster Telesur.
