Argentina president posts tweet mocking Chinese accent

She took the opportunity to mock the accent of her hosts while making a reference to those in attendance.

Fernandez posted a message on Twitter, replacing the letter “r” with the letter “l,” so it sounded like she was saying lice and petloleum, instead of rice and petroleum.

Another pointedly asks President Fernandez: “Why don’t you try Mandarin Chinese?”
