The popularity of a Chinese interpreter has soared because of her cool handling of State Councillor Yang Jiechi’s 15-minute opening remarks at the start of talks between senior US and Chinese officials in Alaska on Thursday (March 18).
Zhang Jing stole the show for her part in the first face-to-face talks between high-level officials from the two countries since US President Joe Biden took office in January. The two-day meeting in Anchorage concluded on Friday (March 19).
Chinese media reports referred to her as “China’s Principal Interpreter” and “China’s Most Beautiful Interpreter”. Her name has become one of the top searches on social media platform Weibo. Videos featuring photographs of her also scored tens of millions of views online.
The Alaskan talks began with a tense exchange of criticisms and ended with an agreement to cooperate on climate change and people exchanges. But in the words of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the two countries remained “fundamentally at odds” on issues like Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Tibet, Taiwan and cyberspace.
Speaking after Blinken and US national security adviser Jake Sullivan, Yang touted China’s success in tackling poverty and containing Covid-19 while the US was still battling the pandemic.
He also accused Washington of using its financial and military might to squeeze other countries and said that abusive US national security policies threatened the future of global trade. He also rejected criticism of Beijing’s policies in Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan , saying they were all inseparable parts of China and so internal affairs not open to discussion.
He also called the US the “champion” of cyberattacks and criticised its domestic policies.
“Many people within the United States actually have little confidence in the democracy of the United States,” he said, citing the killing of African-Americans and the Black Lives Matter movement.
“Because, Mr Secretary and NSA Sullivan, you have delivered some quite different opening remarks, mine will be slightly different as well,” said Yang towards the end of his opening statement.
A participant at the meeting said Yang’s lengthy speech would be “a test for the interpreter”. Blinken said: “We’re going to give the translator a raise,” which drew a moment of laughter in the tense situation.
Zhang then delivered a near 2,000 word English translation of Yang’s remarks.

She is known for her composed posture and good translation skills, they said.
A native of Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, Zhang graduated from Hangzhou Foreign Languages School in 2003 and then from the China Foreign Affairs University, where she majored in English. She was recruited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2007.
China Women News posted on its social media account that Zhang was a model of “China’s image” and was “a representation of MFA’s most competent and professional translators delivering China’s voice to the world”.
Ditto. I wouldn’t toss her out of bed, but I wouldn’t hire her for my buddy’s bachelor party either.
True, but I am not seeing “internet hit” material, which is the point of the thread. When a person is said to be an internet hit, your expectations are pretty high.
Your about page indicates you have never been to the Carolinas... you ought to take a trip, its nice there.
Summers can be gawdawful hot, and autumn can get dicey with the hurricane season finale...

SoS Blinkin's a first class sap. Right now, the U$D is the world’s reserve currency. But when the U.S. loses the leader position the $26 trillion national debt becomes very real. Right now the dollar remains artificially stable because every country conducting commodity trades and other financial actions trade with U.S. dollars. China wants it to be either a basket currency or the Chinese Yuan, preference is the latter.
As China asserts its influence around the world this change in the world’s reserve currency will happen, when it does, it will be like someone pulled the plug on the U.S. financial system.
===========================
China plainly told Americans: “We selected & elected your president boss and bought off the Biden Crime Family. The Bidens are our slaves. Case closed.
The Biden Crime Family and many in Tripper Joe's administration, as well as the Democrap/Republican UNI Party, are obeisant to the Chinese, having been paid off for their service. They took their 30 pieces of silver.....as the American tax-paying public gets crucified.
They got so rich, the Biden Crime Family has no worries…....in truth, the Chinese paid off the Biden Crime Family years ago when Biden was VP.
She has dead eyes; nothing good in that head.
Both have those I kill you last eyes.
A rare female survivor of China’s One Child Policy. Now, instead of raising beautiful children, she serves craven old tyrants.
*the first mask-to-mask talks!
Pretty girl, but a smile would help.
Been there, done that; 78 in a few months.
Cold, dead eyes. . .
She looks like the younger version of that North Korean killer sister.
Meh.
That sounds like the old line, a 2 at 10 and a 10 at 2
That is funny!!!
The PRC will do that to you.
I’d say she caught that parked car she was chasing.
