How Does A Recent Chinese Immigrant (And Comedian) See Us? Maybe More Clearly Than We See Ourselves …

Ever take the time to ask, “How does an immigrant see us/the USA?”.

Check out this comedy presentation by Joe Wong at the Radio and Television Correspondent’s Dinner in Washington DC  (click HERE).

The Joe-Man is brilliant, in my view, and funny.

Imagine flipping this … you/us know enough about China (or India), speaking Mandarin (or Hindi) well enough, and know Chinese (Indian) culture, history, its jokes and humor well enough to stand before a room of Chinese (Indian) press correspondents and high ranking CCP officials and do what Joe Wong did at this dinner.

And his joke about the how the President should be fluent two languages … (1) English to sign legislation; and (2) Mandarin to be able to work with Chinese debt collectors?   Priceless …..

Here is Joe Wong’s website if you want to learn more about him - click HERE.

Joe is the man ….
