I have dealt with mainland Chinese speaking English. Those uni grads who communicate with us in English.  Although he is Singaporean, his spoken English is now Chinese accented and he sounds no different from these u grads.

If you close your eyes and hear him speak, you will think he is China Chinese.

Yes conditioned by the years of working in China and with Chinese lah.

When I speak to Americans and British I would naturally mimic their accents cos it's easier for the msg to get thru. Perhaps he should have spoken like an American instead of just saying the wife studied nearby etc. Lol
