President Donald Trump's spectacularly played video upon his arrival in Beijing on 13th May 2026 is absolutely going viral. It depicts a Chinese People's Liberation Army soldier who is completely still, at attention with a soldier and wearing his uniform as Trump's Air Force One slowly pulls up with powerful motors singing.

In the middle of this swirl of low flyovers and in front of the big plane, not one bit of the soldier's demeanor moved: he did not flinch, blink, or move as if displaying legendary military discipline of the Chinese people. Presumably the images were recorded using a telephoto lens; the footage rapidly gained millions of views and was widely shared on social media.

The citizens cheered her courageous coolness and bravery, and many describe it as a ‘masterclass' of ‘ceremonial precision.' Some commented that the angle of the camera gave the impression of being closer, but nothing could eclipse the guard's performance from the star of the star-studded visit with President Xi Jinping.
