    Why does a major international newspaper not use the proper adjective form of the word “China”?

        Wouldn’t the name be in Chinese, with a translation to English for us? Which would usually include translating it into standard English grammar instead of the grammar it was in?

        You know, if I was translating no hablo espanol, I wouldn’t be like “yeah, he said ‘no speak I spanish’”.
