Kevin Rudd , Ex Australian PM , Swearing at the Chinese Language.

[Kompromat]

Funny but you do get the sense that he hates Chinese and their language even when he himself is a Mandarin speaker.

He also called chinese "red rats" , disclosed in wikileaks cables.

 

[jayron]

He's just frustrated that he couldn't pronounce the Chinese words. Why to make a fuss about it?

Leaked video shows Rudd swearing

A video of Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd swearing in frustration has been leaked online, amid increasing speculation he is preparing for a tilt at his old job.

The video was uploaded to YouTube on Friday by a new member calling themselves HappyVegemiteKR.

It shows Kevin Rudd using strong language in frustration while recording a Chinese language message in Canberra several years ago as the Prime Minister.

A spokesman for Mr Rudd says the Foreign Minister has never made any secret of the fact he sometimes swears.

But the spokesman said he regrets any offence the selectively edited footage may have caused.

The video comes as speculation mounts within federal Labor ranks that the Prime Minister's allies in Cabinet are testing her support.

Newspaper reports suggest some Cabinet members have been warning backbenchers that a return to a Rudd government would destroy the Labor party.

On Saturday, Attorney-General Nicola Roxon declared Julia Gillard a better prime minister than Mr Rudd and urged him to end leadership rumblings.

"Kevin Rudd is a very good Foreign Minister, he should focus on that, the way we all focus on our jobs as ministers," she said.

"I think the really disappointing thing about what is going on at the moment is it means instead of talking about our proud record of what Labor has delivered to the community, we are talking about each other and ourselves. That doesn't help anybody."

Mr Rudd's backers have long said a challenge for the top job could happen after the Queensland election. However, the frenzied pace of leadership speculation could see it happen sooner.

Mr Rudd is currently on a campaign trail in Queensland, most notably helping Kate Jones to try to keep her seat of Ashgrove, which is being contested by would-be premier Campbell Newman.

Haha yeah, if you think simplified characters are complicated, have a look at some of the traditional characters we use. And they are used all over East Asia.

But learning to speak a Chinese dialect (like Mandarin) is not actually that difficult.

Mandarin at least has only 4 tones and has similar sounds to English. Cantonese on the other hand...

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

in a purely grammatical sense, Chinese is like Turkish (which i do speak and understand quite well). The placement of subject, noun, action/verb etc.

it's just a question of learning the basics and then just building on vocabulary....i have a knack for learning languages actually.


maybe one day!

And then there is binary .... Imagine if you had to mutter 0s and 1s day long .... every second of your life.

The chinese had two options - speak in mandarin or binary. No wonder what they chose.

Anyway, swearing in mandarin is same as saying "you are my all weather friend". You have to guess from the tone ...

Looks exhausted.

kevin rudd is fluent in the chinese langauge... you guys really need to do some research or read the article before commenting.

this is a smear campaign againt him by the gillard government because he most likely will challenge for leadership in the near future!.

also, he was swearing etc because the interpreter was translating from chinese to english, instead of making it in simple easy to say english they made it complicated which frustrated rudd, he wanted something simple and easy to say.

this video was also done many years ago lol

kevin rudd should learn and speak in binary, to be totally unambiguous.

as i said, in mandarin, swearing at you and calling you "all weather friend" sound exactly the same.

 

[Hello_10]

who cares about Australia or its leaders? it's an irrelevant island nation full of white folks whose british ancestors were damned criminals brought in on boats

who knows, maybe one day it will be a Chinese province

Australian rulers show respect for China, its language/ culture and its progress in 'open', because they know China is rising without any control and sooner they do all these, better they will be protected from from any type of aggression from China against Australia. Their every military preparation, alignments, is now considering China only. At the same time, they hate China whose money in Australian resource sector feed Australians. Australians hate to discuss that they live on the money of China not by their own talents. Almost over 98% population of Australia is under high school pass, there is just no environment of study that they may develop technologies by themselves, they heavily depends on the skill migrants who account for over 1% of their population every year. Criterion of getting success in life isn’t education in Australia. The skilled migrants who fulfil requirements of professionals, which help Australian under high school passed labours get job, but Australians still think of themselves superior to migrants as they are at least white. But the feeling that its mining sector and Chinese money invested in it, why Australians can maintain their lifestyle, have generated a hate for China in Australian society. Australian white lived many generations while thinking Chinese an inferior race but now they see almost half of the Mercedes/ BMW on the roads of Sydney are now owed by Chinese origins. And they hate thinking all these that first they rely on the China’s investments in Australia and at the same time its Chinese origins who are gaining on business side in Australia also, who mainly speak Chinese in Australia and try to spread chinese culture there also.

I met one Chinese origin Australian on PDF a month before who tried to prove Australian whites like Chinese as China has done heavy investments in Australian resource sector which feed Australians. But, it’s a common sense that more Chinese will talk all these in Australia, more Australian whites will hate them . I had few Chinese friends in my university who preferred to open small shops in Australia while they owed M.E./ MBA degrees from a high ranked university and migrated under skilled migration. And when we asked why, they say, “Indians work for whites but we work for ourselves.” And the result of this Chinese mentality is, whether small or big shops, at least half of the Australian business is now owed by the Chinese origins in Australia while their population would be hardly around 3%. And Australian rulers like Mr Rudd believes, Australia will have to either gather the whole world against China’s rise to put a control on them, or, Australians will finally have to accept Chinese culture and would start learning Chinese.

So you want the Chinese to call you an "all weather friend" so you can judge them from their tone
