(Simple vanity) When Trump and Xi Jinping were walking alone & chatting, who was translating?
Posted on 04/08/2017 1:54:13 PM PDT by RoosterRedux
When they were walking alone and chatting, they were responsive to each other's speech and seemed to be having a good time. 
I don't think Xi Jinping speaks English and I don't think President Trump speaks Mandarin...so how did they understand each other? 
Were they wearing mics and earphones?

    Top level translators, small mikes and earphones. That is my guess.

    Why wouldn’t the Chinese leader know how to speak English?
Anybody who deals internationally has to know how to speak English.

    The technology certainly exists. There are even apps that translate conversational language on smart phones.
But I didn’t see President Trump or Xi sporting a smart phone.

    Trump knows Chinese. Sure helps while ordering.

    Almost every head of state in the world knows some English - they just pretend not to in public for political reasons.

    Remember that SNL skit 30 years ago where Reagan secretly spoke perfect Arabic? Maybe Trump speaks perfect Mandarin.

He speaks engrish.

    In the video there are two guys following behind them. Perhaps they were translating and conveying over mics and earpieces.

    Oh is that true?
I wouldn’t be too surprised, he does a lot of business with Chinese.
But this is the first I heard that. Is it true?
