Are you under the impression that the British-trained woman being quoted is fluent in Cantonese but not Mandarin?

I don't know, I didn't read the article. I try to make as little assumptions as I can... It could just add easily be a native that trained in the UK, but then i suppose it would have been mentioned.

Which language do you think the government should use/expect from it's employes in HK?
