He shared that if foreigners want to do business in China, the first thing they should do is to learn Chinese. “Many countries are using the Chinese yuan to do business now, and you’re coming from abroad to do business with us in China, [so] why wouldn’t you learn Chinese. Why do I still have to speak to you in English? Don’t put your cart before the horse,” he said.
He added: “For example, if [my company] were to go to the US, to go overseas and do business with other people, then we’ll have to at least learn some English, right?”Kenny’s words were very well-received by Chinese netizens, with many agreeing with the actor. “After watching this video, I’ll become your fan forever, my son will become your fan too,” one overjoyed netizen wrote..
