In a recent Peoples Republic Poll it was found that over half of the population in China have no idea what the other half is usually saying.
Over 300 million people were asked if they found it difficult to understand what others might be saying in a typical conversation, about 57 % of those polled said that because there language is a tonal language and therefore can be misunderstood easily, they would usually just nod in agreement, ask for the person to repeat what they’ve said, or simply stand there looking annoyed, confused or angry.
The poll was taken after the General Secretary of the Communist Party, Hu Jintao, stopped a meeting with the deputies of the Party Congress of the Peoples Liberation Army/Navy after realizing he was supposed to be in a meeting with the Emergency Rescue Team of APF Guangdong Contingent, prompting Hu(in typical Hu fashion) to smile broadly, look towards the cameras and say, “I fucked up”. He then shrugged his shoulders and scampered off the stage. Later it was decided that he just misunderstood his assistant when she told him his daily itinerary.
