Who is Hu {{forumTopicSubject}}

Kina har fået ny rorgænger. Deres leder hedder nu Hu, hvilket giver nogle forståelsesmæssige problemer for engelsktalende mennekser, ikke mindst for USA’s præsident, George Bush. Her er en ordveksling mellem Bush og hans kvindelige rådgiver Condoleezza Rice.
Man kan sige, at samtalen udvikler sig til et nyt Watergate. Teksten bringes af tvingende årsager på orginalsproget.

George: Condi! Nice to see you.
Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.
George: Great. Lay it on me.
Condi: Hu is the new leader.
