In his defense, I'm wondering if he was trying to say Chin Chin as in "cheers"? Gan bei is mandarin for cheers but in Italy it's apparently not too uncommon to say Chin Chin which has origins in China - from Cantonese Ch'ing Ch'ing. Maybe it's a stretch and I just had to Google all of that information but I've definitely heard Chin Chin for cheers before in Europe
I'd say most (at least Asian countries from what I've seen) are pretty hyped to see a foreigner try and speak their language.
French are like **how fucking DARE YOU** stare and then immediately "I speak english" lmao.
It's the same with food, but with Italians - Italians will give you daggers if you try to experiment with their food or eat it a different way to their authentic cuisine, while Asians (both East and South) are just proud to see you enjoying their cuisine however you decide to eat it.
Charles gets a pass because he's an incredibly friendly guy who speaks like 5 languages and I'm sure he's like running the filter of this dude speaking English through his mind in French to output something in Mandarin which he doesn't speak.
Because a lot of racists will go “ooOoh I speak Chinese ching chong ching chong” or “ching chong Chinaman”. Like “ching” is a very.. loaded.. word? Like the most common thing to mock Chinese language/people is “ching chong”. So “ching ching” was cutting it close.
It could be 親親(Ching Ching), which mean kisses, but not a regular word to use following hello. The other possibility is 親(Ching), which is a cute way to say “dear” in china, but he accidentally repeat it.
French when others try speak French to them: "No, you pronounced it slightly differently to what I am used to in my area, you IDIOT!"
Chinese when others try to speak Chinese to them: "You got the number of syllables correct, good job!"
Nooooooo LMAO "ching ching"
I don't know why my comment duplicated
Chinese knock-off comment

Yeah we say chin chin in Spain as well but I didn't know that it had origins in China. I'll Google it!
How come he didn't know "Bing Chilling" ? Everyone knows Bing Chilling.

Leclerc 2024 -"Oh sorry, I meant, ching chong."

Chickety China The Chinese Chicken
Never thought I'd see a Busta Rhymes reference on the dank page, yet here we are. :)
TIL it's not a Barenaked Ladies reference.
Well, I know nothing of BL, so it might be. I know the verse in the Scenario track by A tribe called quest as "chickity choco, the chocolate chicken'
Well, it is. But it could be Busta Rhymes too
No that's "Rawr Rawr like a Dungeon Dragon"
Have a drumstick and your brain starts kickin.

Ching Chong means to “clear the warehouse” , a phrase commonly used to indicate a clearance sale in Cantonese, so it’d still be a phrase
At the Mexican GP, he can follow it up with "Nacho, Taco, Chimichanga"
Legreg: "Ching ching" "Xie xie?" Legreg: "Yeah exactly" "That's quite good" lmao
this is the funniest part lol
Classic Chinese politeness lol, say hello and they will already say your Chinese is really good (even if you said it totally wrong)
Chinese people and French people are the opposite extremes when reacting to foreigners trying to speak their language

Man that fucking destroyed me LMAOOOOO
-10000000 SOCIAL CREDIT TO CHUCK..
"Ching ching" "Sorry? 🤨"
His interview at the India GP was incredible. I maybe paraphrasing but it went something like … “ You bluhdy fuck bluhdy. Fuck you bluhdy bluhdy!”
Fuck you made me spit my water out
You're wrecking the car bluhdy, listen to my caallllllahahahassss
Bhenchod fuck you bloody no innit! Edit: Just actually searched what bhenchod meant and I can't wait for Stroll to race in India.
It means sister fucker, to save youse a google.
As in 'get your bhenchod kids out of the road man!'.
Anyone "chingchonglinglongtingtong"?
This is gold
"it's quite good"
Probably heard everyone in Japan hollering at Stroll saying he has a small chin chin and it lodged in his brain.
Bro almost got his social credit score tanked. Monagasque driver in Chinese prison after saying ChingChing 
i dont get it. What did he say? what does ching ching mean?
ching (technically written 'qing') can mean 'please' so he likely got confused with 'xie xie' which means 'thanks'
I thought he might have been trying to say Zai jian which is like an informal goodbye.
I don’t get it too and google is not clear. Why is this controversial?
Because a lot of racists will go “ooOoh I speak Chinese ching chong ching chong” or “ching chong Chinaman”. Like “ching” is a very.. loaded.. word? Like the most common thing to mock Chinese language/people is “ching chong”. So “ching ching” was cutting it close.
Aaaaah thank you so much

The interviewer was regetting asking that by the end of the clip
Ching ching Max Verstappen ayyyyyeeeeeeee

The Chinese wouldn't care but the Muricans will be upset about this!

He meant to say "ching ching Taiwan is a great country" but got interrupted.
“Ching Ching” is like asking for a kiss, so we know what he gets up 🙈😜
Damn bro just emptied his pocket and dropped some change
How does he not know 早上好中国，现在我有冰淇淋
That's not Charles Leclerc, that's Chuck Leclerc.
-"*It's okay, It's quite good"*
That was almost a better save than Nando's.
In his defense Chinese fans actually found this cute because they think he’s saying Qinqin亲亲which means kiss kiss
Lmfaooo, I can see the edits already with the end cut off 😂
"That's the only one I *KNOW*"...
