Argentina's President, During Visit To China, Mocks Chinese Speech In Tweet

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has committed an apparent diplomatic gaffe in a visit to China, where she used her Twitter feed to mock how the Chinese speak.

Kirchner appeared to suggest that the Chinese have trouble distinguishing between their R's and L's — using the words "rice," "petroleum" and "Campora," the name of the youth wing of her political party, as examples.
