Hong Kong: A hundred flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought contend: Donald J. Trump has a long-lost Chinese friend.

Dressed in a black suit, an unmistakable blonde wig and an extra-long red tie, “Trump” is leading a Cantonese opera troupe during a rehearsal in Hong Kong.

It begins with the current first family moving into the White House.Ivanka Trump finds Mao’s Little Red Book -- a collection of the late communist leader’s quotes and ideology – full of her father’s handwritten notes, triggering a flashback to Nixon’s famous diplomatic tour of China in 1972. “Donald Trump is the most topical person in the world, while Cantonese opera is a forgotten and waning art form. If we can write about him in a play, it will definitely help attract people’s attention to the culture of Cantonese opera,” said Edward Li, the opera’s playwright.Li said Mao and Trump share similar traits, namely narcissism.

The US-China trade war and the controversial arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou were both worked into the plot.
