Surprisingly, both leaders started talking about history until Mr. Trump declared that he knew that Chinese history is more than 5,000 years long.

The President of the People's Republic of China decided to continue the dialogue, adding that Chinese writing originated 3,000 years ago.

Trump then said that Egyptian civilization is much older than Chinese, their writing source is more than 8,000 years old.

Egypt is indeed a bit older, Xi Jinping agrees. However, China is the only civilization in the world that has continued to exist continuously for centuries.

“Our people have always lived here, with black hair and yellow skin, for generations,” the Chinese president said. Mr. Trump was interested in the Chinese leader’s reaction.

This is not the first time Xi Jinping has cited his country's historical events. During their first meeting in the US, the Chinese President spoke to Trump about China's relationship with North Korea, causing his American counterpart to think seriously about why China cannot immediately solve the North Korea problem.

Although Trump often dislikes being "taught" by others, he is not averse to listening to the wise words of his Chinese counterpart, whom he often calls his friend," AFP commented.
