"Yang, 56, is a man who has held all sorts of jobs, from street barber to security guard. He considers himself a representative of the country's lowest class, but he is well-informed, citing the price of Brent crude and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. He recalls that other U.S. presidents, like George W. Bush, were welcomed by the people. But with Trump, it's different. He's crazy, his client adds."
After dinner in Beijing, people gather in a public square to walk, dance, and play games, creating a lively everyday scene. The area near Workers’ Stadium hosts dancers, Chinese chess players, and hairdressers who work outdoors. A barber named Yang cuts hair for 10 yuan and uses an electric scooter to power spotlights and a hair dryer. He says he prefers peace and links his views to wars started by Trump, while also noting suffering from conflicts in the Middle East. Yang describes himself as representing the lowest class, yet he stays informed about global issues such as Brent crude prices and the Strait of Hormuz blockade. He contrasts earlier U.S. presidents’ reception with Trump’s perceived unpredictability.
