If not, why not ?

- seanmcdirmid 11y agoI haven't heard from him in a while...is he even in the Spring festival gala anymore?
- westiseast 11y agoI saw him on some billboards in Wuhan recently :) I honesty don't know, there seem to be more foreigners now on TV with good Chinese though, ones doing word games and straight up presenting with great Mandarin.

I am thinking that these competitions are formed out of people's desire to teach their children to speak English well, by talking up kids who are good at speaking English.
