Oh my gosh, how cute is this?\u00a0 While President Donald Trump was touring China, his granddaughter Arabella\u00a0wowed the world when she sang in\u00a0Mandarin and\u00a0said a part of the Three-Character Classic and ancient Chinese poems.\u00a0\u00a0Apparently, she\u00a0learned\u00a0Chinese from her nanny since she was\u00a0a baby, and she is quite fluent.<\/p>\n

Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan welcomed\u00a0the President and First Lady\u00a0at\u00a0the Palace Museum\u00a0and served tea.\u00a0That\u2019s when the proud grandfather\u00a0showed Xi and Peng this super cute video of Arabella.<\/p>\n
