As a Mandarin speaker myself, I must say that Jon Huntsman's Chinese is quite poor. His thoughts are eloquent but the pronunciation, i.e. execution are reminiscent of third-semester Chinese-language students in college.

@Challe337 That is ironic. Jon Huntsman speaks fluent Mandarin but not Gary Locke.

@pakjai While that wasn't the most diplomatic move, Huntsman is resigning, not being fired, in order to pursue a run at the presidency. This was announced even before the Jasmine revolution. What people aren't talking about is the fact that Gary Locke doesn't speak fluent Mandarin, which is pretty unbelievable for this position.

Jon Huntsman was caught on camera during one of those jasmine rebelutions. He was walking around smiling and was wearing a black leather jacket with the American flag on it. Now he gets removed and replaced? lol..

Another puppet placed in China for the sole purpose of bankrupting American. Great job, Nobama. We'll all be scrounging for food when you're done, and you'll be on a nice island somewhere sipping margaritas laughing at the dumbfuck Americans.
