Premier Li Keqiang led the Chinese delegation in singing the country’s national anthem during a state banquet hosted by Chilean President Michelle Bachelet on May 25.

The Premier offered to lead the singing following a technical problem.

Bachelet later said during her speech that she appreciated the Premier for taking the initiative to tackle the issue “with wisdom and humor”.

Li said that music knows no boundaries and everyone was able to appreciate the song — even if not everyone understood the words.
