In "The Red Ball", he is also shown to understand and speak Mandarin. He uses this gift during individual interactions as well, during which he can gain a desired effect depending on his intention. Oratorically gifted, Huey has shown the ability to seize and hold the attention of entire crowds of people when he wants to do so. For example, in "The Fundraiser", Huey accurately predicts what will become of Riley's candy-selling racket, going so far as to give him a bulletproof vest that eventually saves his life. Tending to be obstinate in both manner and speech, Huey has demonstrated a depth of understanding that would seem to surpass his young age, such as knowing roughly what is going to happen in the future based on the actions and personalities of the people involved. His cynicism, skepticism, and criticism often touches upon controversial subjects such as politics, religion,the media, businesses and corporations, African-American culture and American society as a whole. Huey is a highly intelligent 10-year-old who recognizes and detests the absurdities and injustices (both obvious and perceived) of the society in which he lives.
