Ivanka is HYUGE In China

While I often find her many of her left-leaning ideals questionable, Ivanka has undoubtedly helped humanize President Trump, all while bringing sophistication and grace to the White House. Overall, I’m a fan of hers.

Tuns out she has quite a few fans… in CHINA.

According to Daily Mail:

Ivanka Trump is cultivating a cult following in China.
 

An online fan club on the website Weibo, which is similar to Twitter, even refers to the president’s daughter as ‘Goddess Ivanka’.

 

NBC News reports the page with the same title has about 12,000 followers, many of whom are effusive in their praise for the 35-year-old.

 

Hu Xingdou, a Beijing professor, told the network much of Ivanka Trump’s popularity comes from people thinking she is supportive of China.

This screenshot from the fan site shows 12,798 followers, and her popularity is only growing.

‘Most people in China love Ivanka because of her friendly gestures towards the Chinese people,’ Xingdou said.

 

‘Ivanka is an important bridge during this period of uncertainties in China-US relations.’

 

The professor then referenced videos Trump posted on social media of her daughter, Arabella, singing in Chinese to President Xi Jinping earlier this month.

 

‘That was a boost for Chinese cultural nationalism,’ he said.

So….that’s interesting I guess. I see nothing bad coming from this. While we definitely have our issues with China, we’re obviously going to need them to get on board when it comes to North Korea. Maybe Ivanka’s new cult following will help get them on board (ha!)
