So what I am saying is there is likely no wiggle room for Chinese on the former, but probably quite a bit on the latter.

As far as I know, the only confirmed use of Mandarin at the condo of reknown, was as the spoken language in some meetings where interpretation may or may not have been available (in at least one report, the condo claimed it was). It has always seemed to me an easily corrected breach of etiquette more than anything else.
