Chinese isn't the most spoken language in aviation (yet...)
In order to avoid all this confrontationalist sabre-rattling and unpleasantness, why don't we all learn another language and use that? Maybe one of the minority languages from some little known island... or maybe Clanger.....

And that's coming from someone works at the british airport that is furthest away from France....
