That seems to be a notable exception.

Just for the record, Biden’s name in Mandarin is Qiáo bài dēng (乔·拜登). Makes his last name sound like “buy dung”, in fact. The first character has the definitions of “to pretend; to feign; to disguise”; second character has the meaning “to kowtow”, third character can mean to be ripe.

Thank you for the response. The Mandarin is very interesting and useful, I’ll likely reference it in the future. It’s certainly appropriate, as Joe has ripened into a kowtowing pretender.
