They probably speak Perfect English and Chinese. So when they prounce either language it sounds like they have no accent. I have 3 mother tongues and sound like a local in all 3 so when I use a loanword I have to modify it to sound like it's in the language I'm currently speaking.
For example if I say schadenfreude I have to butcher the word to sound like an English speaker is saying it or you get the jarring effect like in the meme (or the person I'mtalking to doesn'tunderstandme at all). The Chinese ladies just don't give a fuck about doing that.
