Reuters: Prima doamnă a Chinei, Peng Liyuan, a cucerit publicul american prin „soft power”. A vorbit fără traducător și a cântat
During Xi Jinping's visit to Washington, his wife, Peng Liyuan, presented a softer image of China despite ongoing tensions. She engaged with Melania Trump and sang along with children at the Smithsonian, promoting cultural exchange. Peng encouraged American teens to learn Chinese language and culture, contributing positively to US-China relations. However, discussions about her activities in China remain limited due to sensitivities around public discourse on high-ranking officials' personal lives. Historically, Chinese first ladies have maintained a low profile, influenced by past political events. Peng, a former military soprano, has supported social causes and described Xi as grounded and hardworking.
