Donald Trump's election may have been greeted with skepticism in China, but it seems the President-elect may have someone he can call on to help smooth over relations with Beijing - his grand-daughter. A video of Arabella Kushner, daughter of Ivanka Trump, reciting a poem in Mandarin has gone viral.

The five-year-old was recorded in February, but an Instagram post by her mother has been widely shared since Trump's election win.

Wearing a traditional Chinese dress, Arabella recited the poem, which dates back to the Tang Dynasty, to mark Chinese New Year.

It has been met with approval in China, where the Republican's campaign had been controversial.

She’d make the perfect Ambassador to China! Is there an age requirement?

She’d certainly make a better Ambassador than Chelsea.

I am so impressed with the entire Trump family! They’d all be more qualified below age 10 or otherwise than the current residers of the Washington swamp!

My cat would make a better ambassador then Chelesa. A dead groundhog would make a better ambassador than Chelsea.

A louse on your cat would make a better ambassador than Chelsea. A maggot munching on the dead groundhog would make a better ambassador than Chelsea.

And all of the previously mentioned would likely be more respected by the Chinese than Chelsea.

We should respect Chelsea.

I say we appoint her Ambassador to Lostonia. We’ll find some berg in Europe and convince her she’s doing a indispensable job.

The beauty for her? She’ll not be forced to report in all the time. Two or three times every four years ought to just about do it.

We contact a small town who is in on it with us. They act like they’re a small nation, and we promise $5 million a year budget for them.

Chelsea gets the title, is wined and dined by two people acting as royalty who were pig farmers until last week.

Hey folks, I think this is doable. And since they are used to dealing with pigs, this should work out fine.

Only if mom & dad forced her to, as a condition for continuing to collect her $900K/yr allowance from the CF. On her own, Chelsea just can't seem to get herself to "care about money."
