Due to the party during the epidemic, British Prime Minister Johnson is suffering from a "step down" crisis. According to a video posted on social media Twitter on the 19th by the BBC: Liberal Democratic Party leader Ed Davey accused Johnson of resigning in the House of Commons of the British Parliament on the same day, in view of the previous party scandal, Johnson is no longer suitable for others to formulate a new crown epidemic prevention policy, "the best policy to defeat the new crown is to let him (Johnson) resign."

In the face of the accusations, Johnson responded. He first said, "Mr. Speaker, as we said," and then Johnson suddenly said Chinese: "Hello, it's nice to know you..." The live video showed people laughing after hearing Johnson say Chinese.
Johnson then said he disagreed with Ed David's view that he should resign. "I want to continue to be prime minister and I'm going to put the people first, and this is the government that was elected with the mission of uniting the nation, and that's what we're going to do," he said.
Johnson has recently been mired in the "party gate" scandal. According to British media previously revealed, during the entire new crown epidemic, the British Prime Minister's Office was exposed to have a party every Friday, and the "lockdown" of London and the funeral of Prince Philip were also indispensable. As prime minister, Johnson not only attended three times, but also encouraged employees to attend parties to "release stress".
Although Johnson himself has apologized for this, the "party door" is still fermenting, and for a time public resentment is boiling, and the prime minister's position may be precarious. A recent poll showed that the Conservative Party's approval ratings had fallen behind the main opposition Labour Party by 10 per cent, a record low, and Johnson's personal approval rating had fallen to a freezing point.
It is in this context that the above-mentioned dialogue takes place. Not only Ed Davy, according to Russia Today (RT), Johnson was also heavily criticized in parliament that day by former ally David Davis, who also demanded that Johnson "take responsibility" for his actions and resign.
After the BBC uploaded the video to Twitter, many foreign netizens expressed puzzlement about why Johnson suddenly said Chinese: ↓
"So... Why did he suddenly try to say Chinese? ”
Others commented on Johnson's Chinese pronunciation: ↓
"Johnson's 'Hello' pronunciation is not accurate."
"Yes, my Chinese is already bad, but his (worse)."
"The British prime minister said in parliament Chinese ... The Way Through China"
There has also been speculation that Johnson's statement that Chinese is meant to show that his accusers are "linked to China."
