US President Donald Trump arrives for his first visit to China while in office on Wednesday.
He will hold talks with Chinese leaders, with trade issues and North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme expected to be high on the agenda.
Trump is a high-profile figure in China and the focus of extensive coverage in state media, but what do Chinese people think of the US president? We asked people on the streets of Beijing.
Fei Danyang, a 42-year-old financial analyst, said he knew about Trump before he was elected president because of his reality TV show The Apprentice.
“He’s an interesting person, more honest than Obama. He is no politician and has big ego...so his honesty is, in a disrespectful way, a bit self-righteous and ignorant of other people’s feelings.”
Trump’s bluntness and outspoken views won him support from middle and working-class Americans and also among Chinese viewers, according to Fei.
