My name is Franz Lang, a German-Hongkongese independent linguist, language enthusiast, serial traveller and movie buff. I am now fully quadrilingual, speaking French, German, Cantonese and English fluently. Over the years, I've also developed a convincing understanding of Portuguese, Arabic, Yiddish, Russian, and many other languages. The goal of my channel is simple: to help you say any word with absolute confidence.
What about Li Keqiang? I once used a clip of Li Keqiang speaking at a summit to demonstrate the aspirated 'q' in Pinyin. It’s a sound that many of my students find counterintuitive, as they want to pronounce it like a 'k' or a 'kw,' rather than the sharp, hissing 'ch' sound it actually represents.
📖 Meaning and Context:
Li Keqiang was a paramount Chinese politician who served as Premier of the People's Republic of China from 2013 to 2023. His tenure focused on sustainable development, poverty alleviation, and market-oriented reforms like "Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation," steering China's macroeconomic policy and articulating its economic diplomacy on the global stage.
