China, in the midst of a rapid nuclear weapons buildup, will soon surpass Russia as the United States' top nuclear threat, a senior US military official said on Friday, warning that the two countries have no mechanisms to avert miscommunication.
US Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas Bussiere, the deputy commander of the US Strategic Command, which oversees the country's nuclear arsenal, said China's development of nuclear capabilities "can no longer be aligned" with its public claim that it wants to maintain a minimum nuclear deterrent.

Here is the thing; and it is not just "Chinese elders" it is all groups... if you come to a country to live learn the language. New Zealand has 3 official languages, "English", "Te Reo Maori", and "NZ Sign Language"... learn any one of those. Learn and comprehend it. Don't just learn the spoken word but also the written word. I don't care where you are from. If you are a Kiwi going to live in Japan you learn how to read and speak Japanese. It is that simple.
We can not be expected to translate to every known language on the planet.
