Question
Does President Hu speak Mandarin or Cantonese as his first language.
Dear Jamie,
I would say Mandarin is his first language. He was born in Jiangsu Province. But I'm sure there is a dialect just like every other provinces.
If you ask Cantonese or Mandarin, My answer is Mandarin.
Have a nice weekend!
Shannon
