Yesterday, US President Donald Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, were treated to a tour around the Forbidden City as part of their three-day Beijing visit.

Just before the tour, the Trumps and Xis enjoyed an afternoon tea double date, during which The Donald used a tablet computer to show off video clips of his granddaughter Arabella singing songs and reciting poems in Mandarin.

She joins Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and pro-wrestler John Cena in the growing list of famous Americans signing up for Chinese lessons.
