*Disclaimers*
1. Jackie Chan has been chosen because he exhibits the highlighted accent features to such an extent that it is easier for the viewer to hear. If a speaker with a "less strong" accent were chosen, it would be harder for non-phonetically trained viewers to understand the points in the video.
2. There are many different dialects and languages spoken in China. This means that not all speakers of Chinese languages will share the same accent features (or these features to the same degree) as Jackie Chan. However, I have taught many Chinese-language speakers who do have accents similar to Jackie Chan's (even young people and even people who have lived in England for many years).
3. There isn't just one "Chinese accent" in English, but this video summarises some accent features that many Chinese-language speakers have (either when they started to learn English or even now after speaking English for many years).
4. I have not shown all potential accent features that Chinese-language speakers may have.
5. Some topics have been simplified for a general audience.
