Nauru President Adeang Pays Respects at the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum, a First for a Foreign Head of State; He Laughs at the "President Cousin" Nickname
On November 14, Nauru President David Adeang, who is visiting China, led a delegation to pay respects at the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in Huangling County, Yan'an, Shaanxi, presenting a flower basket and bowing three times, and took a selfie with his daughter in front of the cypress said to have been planted by the Yellow Emperor himself. He is reported to be the first foreign head of state to pay respects at the mausoleum. The delegation also visited the Yangjialing revolutionary site the same day and listened to a guide sing "The East Is Red."
Adeang is of Chinese ancestry and returned to his ancestral home in Jiangmen, Guangdong, for the Lunar New Year in February, coming back to China nine months later. Asked by Global Times' new media about Chinese netizens calling him "President Cousin," Adeang laughed and replied: "That's nice, it feels very warm."
GSM previously reported that Adeang arrived in China on November 13 for a visit that included a stop at a traditional Chinese medicine institution in Xi'an.
