Can the Chinese language express more things in XML than can be expressed in English?

Hi Folks,

A couple days ago Michael Kay gave this great post:
--------------------------------------------------
Consider three English sentences:

(a) There are tomatoes in the fridge.

(b) Go to the shop and buy more tomatoes.

(c) How many tomatoes are there in the fridge?

English is flexible: A sentence can provide information, give instructions, or ask questions.

XML is equally flexible.
--------------------------------------------------
I showed that to a colleague and he replied:

> I don't remember details, but there are some things that English
> can't do well linguistically that e.g., I think Chinese can do. 
> It would be interesting to see if XML can do those things.

Is that true? Is there something that can be expressed in Chinese that is not a statement of information, not an instruction, and not a question?
