Video clips of Donald Trump's 4-year-old granddaughter speaking Chinese are taking the Chinese Internet by storm.

The clips show her singing the Chinese traditional song Little White Rabbits and reciting the poem Sympathy with PeasantsArabella Kushner, the daughter of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, actually speaks pretty decent Mandarin for a non-Chinese 4-year-old. Actually she speaks pretty decent Mandarin for anyone not Chinese.

Apparently she's been learning since she was 18 months old and she's learned her putonghua from a Chinese-speaking nanny.

No word yet on whether the toddler's language skills will be earning her a position in her grandfather's controversial circle of advisors or her own pass to the Pentagon.

Is her Chinese better than yours? You might want to get started on learning that Mandarin before the Trumps invade and there's no hope left at all.

Other recent rumors surrounding Trump's birthplace include a message circulating on WeChat discussing whether or not he hails from Chongqing (via Reddit), and a Pakistani news site reporting that he was actually born in Pakistan
