It's not Chinese accent, but French accent. Ashley is not a native American English speaker.

Your accent is worse than mine. You can't pronounce the "th" of something. It sounds like Mandarin Chinese accent but not Cantonese accent.

You love America. And I guess the first three who replied were you yourself. Otherwise, I don't understand why someone would think that you speak like an American.

On the other hand, some Indians and Singaporeans speak English with terrible accents only. They end up without any native languages.
