China’s first lady Peng Liyuan shines during Xi-Trump summit: everything you missed

China's first lady Peng Liyuan is making waves as she travels with President Xi Jinping to Washington for their summit with US President Donald Trump. Peng, known for her fashion sense and soft power, has once again put herself in the international spotlight during this high-profile visit.

When Xi arrived in the US, Peng greeted Melania Trump, reigniting their acquaintance from the Trumps' previous presidency. The two women shared a friendly moment, showcasing their camaraderie.

Peng's English skills took center stage during her meeting with Melania Trump, as the two leaders conversed without an interpreter. This exchange generated buzz online, highlighting Peng's linguistic abilities.

Peng continued to flaunt exclusive Chinese fashion as she accompanied Xi to Washington. Her outfits were exclusively designed by Chinese designers, showcasing the country's fashion industry.

During their visit to the Smithsonian's Peacock Room, Melania Trump and Peng Liyuan toured Chinese artworks and a room inspired by Asian design. This cultural exchange was part of their husbands' talks at the White House.

The pair also attended a performance by a youth choir at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art. Peng, a renowned Chinese soprano, softly hummed along to the familiar classic, demonstrating her musical talents alongside her diplomatic role.
