Many people speak with very pronounced Chinese accent

[Silverobama]

My TikTok chatroom welcomes 3,000 people or so every day and some of them join the conversations.

I notice that many of them speak with strong and obvious Chinese accent. I wrote a sentence to express the idea:

Many people speak with very pronounced Chinese accent.

Is the italic sentence natural?

strong/distinct Chinese accent?

 

[Silverobama]

strong/distinct Chinese accent?

distinct and strong.

It's like a French person speaks English, you can guess he's from France because of his accent.

I'd just use "strong". It's the word we collocate most often with "accent".

Many people speak with very strong Chinese accent.

Is this one good now?

Whichever adjective you use, you need an indefinite article before it.

A strong accent is often called a thick accent.

Well, there's Mandarin. And there's Cantonese. (Not that I can tell the difference.) Apparently, what you mean is people who speak the same language might have trouble understanding each other. (That's not a new problem.)
