    Wrong. Mandarin is a dialect, like Cantonese.

    Chinese is the language.

    Incorrect. Mandarin and Cantonese are completely different spoken languages and mutually unintelligible. There is a common written Chinese language however.

    Incorrect. Mandarin is actually an ancient evil person.

    And he speaks Cantonese.

    I always wanted a Volvo. And I'm betting that Lin does not use a chopstick to eat, only at Japanese restaurants. So, he is an African Born Chino.
