Chinese President Xi Jinping has told reporters in Beijing this morning that he has “massive FOMO” after seeing world leaders hanging out and having fun at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow.
Earlier this year, the Chinese Communist Party made it clear that Mr Xi would not be attending the conference because as an introvert, he felt like he wouldn’t enjoy it as he’d have to come out of his shell a bit and speak to so many strangers.
However, after seeing all the lads and Angela Merkel getting on the tins and having a good old catch up, he’s had a change of heart.
The following is a translation done by The Advocate’s photo editor, Craig Harvey, who is a Level 3 in Mandarin on Duolingo.
“Fuuuuck,” he told Chinese state media.
“It actually looks sick over there. I would’ve loved to have had a bag of cans with Prince Charles. He’s a sick cunt. His gaff is so mad, there’s like 50 rooms and he’s got mad furnishings and an Aston Martin. Last time, we stayed up all night listening to ska records and calling each other rudeboys until Camilla came in and told us to shut up and stop giggling,”
“I knew it would be sick other there and I have massive FOMO right now. Ugh!”
The Advocate reached out to the Chinese Consulate in the Old City District to verify the translation but have yet to receive a reply.
More to come.
