When former U.S. President Trump visited China during his term in office, he showed a pro-China attitude. The video of his then 6-year-old granddaughter Arabella wearing the now fashionable red dress and singing “Jasmine” received likes from around the world. Marvel.

What era is it? Most foreigners can speak Mandarin fluently. Instead, I admire the “Rwanda Youth Team” composed of several young African men and women. You can go to Youtube and Douyin to see their style of singing cross-strait pop songs. I am moved. The only thing is that they learned Chinese from the local Confucius Institute, not from American aristocratic kids who paid $500 for a class. What’s the difference? This represents the success of the Confucius Institute in spreading Chinese culture. It turns out that Chinese tutors put a lot of effort into teaching foreigners to speak Chinese. One of the members of the “Rwanda Youth Team” recalled that in his first class, the teacher played Teresa Teng’s famous song “Sweet Honey”. It sounds so good. Africans are particularly talented in music. As the saying goes, “A song is worth a thousand words.” They all fell in love with Chinese. When learning Chinese became a hobby, he attracted more friends, including young British people who spoke Mandarin as fluently as he did. Jam, well, this Chinese cultural power is expanding infinitely on the Internet.
It’s not that Arabella doesn’t speak Chinese well, I just have some objections to his grandfather. In fact, maybe because of his status, he has to control China and have to oppose China, so he always has trouble with us.
Bloomberg reported that China’s stock market plummeted on Monday, and Trump immediately pumped out funds during his campaign the next day. “I feel very sad for them. The Chinese stock market crashed yesterday. You know why? Because I won Iowa.” Trump emphasized: “It’s absolutely true, since those vote numbers started coming out yesterday, they crashed It’s so miserable, they haven’t encountered such a bad situation in many years.”
He predicted that he would be tough on China to the end: “I love China. I love everyone, but they can’t take advantage of us. You understand what’s going on. If I win, they know there will be no good consequences.”
Trump immediately launched a trade war against China after taking office in 2018. When he was running for re-election in 2020, he turned around and played the China card by turning Mandarin into a Chinese card. He declared: “Once I lose the election, China will own the United States, and Americans must learn to speak Chinese together.”
What’s wrong with Americans learning Chinese? It’s a way to make money if everyone sings about China together. The biggest possibility is a Grammy Award plus a Chinese Song Award. We might as well do a simulcast with CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala, right? However, I suddenly felt that Trump is an educated person because he understands culture.
The poet Yu Guang was interviewed by the United Daily News in 2015 and talked about Chinese education. He compared it: “Chinese culture is a big circle, everyone is in the middle of the circle, and Chinese is its “radius”. How long the radius is, how big the circle can be drawn; once the radius If it collapses, it cannot become a circle.”
In 2017, when Trump visited the Forbidden City, he mentioned that “Egypt has a history of 8,000 years and is the oldest civilization.” Xi Jinping, who was standing by, said: “Yes, Egypt is older. But the culture has never stopped flowing and has always been passed down. Only China.” Trump seemed to have an epiphany at the time.
China has a history of 3,000 years of written records, which has been confirmed by archaeological work in the Xia Dynasty and above 2,000 years ago. During this long period of five thousand years in China, our civilization has never been interrupted. One of the secrets lies in the inheritance of the Chinese language.
Now you should understand why Trump is so resistant to China. He does not want the United States to be included in China’s Baichuan. But, let me ask you, are you thinking too much?
