The best mandatory accent Most people think that the northern mandatory in China is better than southern. In general, yes! I agree with that, but it still depends on person, because every province has their own local accent, so if you are looking for the best Mandarine in China then you should go for person not North or south. There is only one exception: Cantonese, their accent is really terrible because they started speaking mandatory in recently years only. Maybe in the future their manadrin will getting better. I think the best Mandarine is no accent!
