Indian TV news anchor sacked after referring to Chinese president Xi Jinping as Eleven Jinping
Fri 19 Sep 2014, 8:47pm
An Indian television news anchor has been sacked after referring to Chinese president Xi Jinping as Eleven Jinping, apparently confusing his name for Roman numerals.
Mr Xi left India today after a visit to boost trade and economic ties that have been marred by a long-standing border dispute.
The TV blooper occurred on a show on Doordarshan News on Wednesday.

This is hilarious. We worked with many Indians when we worked for ARAMCO in the KSA. And those Indians were, supposedly, the brighter ones.

How do you pronounce ‘Xi’ properly?
How about ‘xiu’ or ‘xiang’?
Qiang, qing, qiu?
Zhi?
