According to the indictment sheet(起诉书),Zhai is facing the serious charge of making a terroristic threat.
For a few days,Chinese media mistranslated,or misunderstood the charges and reported that Zhai was being charged with terrorism.
Some language experts have speculated(推测)that the disagreement between Zhai and the professor can also be chalked up to cultural and linguistic differences.“What Chinese people regard as acceptable speeches may be regarded by Americans as threats,” said Luo Gang,the Chinese Consulate’s Overseas Chinese Affairs consul.“This is an unfortunate incident.Even though Zhai intended no harm,he has done himself a great deal of harm.”
Du,now 23,said she supports Zhai’s actions in fighting to save his academic career,but added he needs to learn more about communication in a foreign language.
“Chinese students in a foreign country must prepare more in terms of languages and conversation skills to avoid misunderstandings,” she said.
