Which is better, Mirai Nagasu's Japanese or Caroline Zhang's Chinese?

Question

I've heard Mirai Nagasu speaking Japanese before (not that I can tell if it's fluent or not), but I've never heard Caroline Zhang speaking Chinese... Any clips of her speaking it somewhere?

Answer 1

Mirai Nagasu's Japanese is pretty good . . . she's doing interviews on her own quite well!  She's 2nd generation (Nisei) - her parents are both from Japan.

I haven't heard Caroline Zhang speak Chinese either, but apparently she can speak Mandarin.  Her parents are immigrants from China - so she is second generation as well.

Here they say she made a comment to journalists in Mandarin.

In this discussion someone read about Chinese journalists laughing over how she mixes Chinese and English . . . but I haven't actually heard it myself.

I'll edit IF I find any Caroline clips!
