The humiliation continues. You'd think among the 1200 hangers on he brought, one of them would speak Mandarin. China blames US for muddled message BEIJING, June 29 (UPI) - Poor Chinese translation of a speech by President Clinton at Peking University left the audience confused and drew fire from China's state media. In a message following Clinton's speech and question-and-answer session today, China's Central Television apologized for the muddled message. One announcer said, ''Translators for the president were provided by the U.S. government.'' ''We apologize to viewers who had problems understanding the speech due to irregular word usage.'' Expanding on Clinton's message of strengthening Sino-U.S. cooperation and understanding, the announcer urged Americans to work harder at learning Chinese. He said, ''It seems that enhancing bilateral understanding ought to begin with improving language skills.'' Clinton's speech was broadcast live throughout China.
