There are things that are better left unspoken, but public figures do not have privacy. So, even someone like Queen Elizabeth has the media documenting everything their reporters can get hold off. Well, we all know Chinese can be uncouth, and rude. Some of us can be quite direct and vocal about it. I would have thight that people in high office would be a little discreet about what they say about others, but here, her majesty herself, Queen E criticises the Chinks for being rude. I wonder if the other member of British Royalty feel that way too? I wonder if they have the right to blab out in public, "Those fucking Chinks! They are soooooo rude!!!!"
Cheers!

Queen caught on camera criticising 'very rude' Chinese officials during sensitive state visit

The Queen was caught on camera making unguarded comments about the Chinese government during a garden party at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
She made the comments about the highly sensitive Chinese state visit on the same day that Prime Minister David Cameron was also filmed telling her that Nigeria and Afghanistan were "fantastically corrupt countries."
The Queen was introduced to Commander Lucy D'Orsi, who was commander of the policing operation for the Chinese state visit last October, during the monarch's first garden party of the season at Buckingham Palace.
She commiserated with Commander Lucy D'Orsi that it was "bad luck" to be the senior commander during the state visit.
She was overheard telling Commander D'Orsi that the Chinese delegation was "very rude" to the British ambassador to China, Barbara Woodward.
Commander D'Orsi agreed and said that the Chinese delegation walked out on her and Ambassador Woodward which she described as "very rude and undiplomatic".
Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan visited the United Kingdom in October 2015.
At the time the Queen described the first state visit by a Chinese premier for 10 years as “a milestone in the unprecedented year of co-operation and friendship between the United Kingdom and China.”
The state visit has so far been perceived as highly successful both in China and in the UK.
David Cameron was praised for taking a different path from China’s rivals, a strategy that according to the Global Times would help Beijing improve ties with the West.
The Prime Minister, however, has been less than praised for being caught on camera telling the Queen about an anti-corruption summit he is hosting in London on Thursday which will see “leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain.”
The PM then went on: “Nigeria and Afghanistan - possibly two of the most corrupt countries in the world.”
Mr Cameron’s comments threatened to become a diplomatic incident, when Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari said his government was deeply "shocked and embarrassed" by the comments.
Cheers!
