Secretary Olney and the Chinese language test tale
When Richard Olney served as Secretary of State he pressed consular appointees to speak the local language. A Western politician seeking a consul post joked he would answer in Chinese if asked a question in Chinese. Olney reportedly asked if the applicant spoke Chinese, and the man replied with a taunting offer to answer yes if asked in Chinese. He won the appointment.
