Peng is stealing the spotlight as she joins Xi on the visit to the dual island country off the coast of Venezuela, the first stop on a tour that will also take the couple to Costa Rica, Mexico and the United States.
Neither rain, the throngs jostling to see the visitors, nor the constant burst of camera flashes chronicling her public appearances flustered the impeccably dressed Chinese first lady, a former opera star fluent in English.
"She's a very beautiful person, very warm, and to chat with her in English was very wonderful," gushed Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar after meeting Peng.
Peng understands the celebrity life: before Xi's rise to power she was a well-known soprano who toured the world promoting Chinese opera and music. For 24 years she also starred in an annual Lunar New Year gala broadcast on Chinese state television. Full story...
