轉一英文網站一網友對芮成鋼的評論

I’ve seen one of Rui’s past interviews in English with Kevin Rudd. In that interview, Rudd tries to impress his Chinese audience by asking for the interview to be conducted in Chinese.

Rui reluctantly agreed and I felt that at the given time, the reluctance came arose because Rui:

a.) Wanted to showcase his English skills
or
b.) Felt that Kevin speaking in Chinese was a novelty that would detract from the overall quality of the interview

However at the end of the clip, I couldn’t help but think Rui was arrogant, unfriendly and pretentious. I think a lot of it came from his body movement and facial expressions. I didn’t like how he looked and how he presented himself.

Months later, this clip of him asking Obama comes out. In this case, he is still trying to show off no doubt. However one has to give him credit for doing his job and doing it well.

To Golf Trolley:

His question was not bad behavior at all. On the contrary I think he was a bit of a pussy and too nervous to say what he really wanted to.

1. He actually softened it by going in a circle and conclusively phrasing it ‘how do you feel about other people interpreting the actions of the United States differently than what you intended’

He could have just said ‘how do you answer to the common perception that US domestic policy is anti-trade and that the recent stance of government puts Us interests before others?’

As for the : ‘I think I can represent Asia part’ – I hope the trolls on this site don’t keep taking it out of context. The guy was obviously nervous. What he probably wanted to say was:

“I’m not sure if you realized this Mr Obama, but China is part of Asia. As of such, I’d like to have an opportunity to ask you a question from this side of the continent’

As a person, this guy might be an ***** to hang out with. But as a reporter, he did a damned good job. It’s not his fault that no gooks helped Obama out. They were probably too busy getting drunk and jumping off buildings, or on Chinahush writing comments.

In any case, it was quite enjoyable to see a Harvard Law Magna Cum Laude alumni piss his pants at a simple question. Looks like not even the guys at the other side of his teleprompter could help this time.
