In the Facebook video, the performers exchange a few pleasant words with the Chinese head of state in Mandarin Chinese. BRICS leader Ramaphosa stands with Jinping and the performers and has a big grin, which many interpret as the president attempting to hide his confusion.
The president must be happy considering that Ethiopia, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran and the United Arab Emirates will be official BRICS members from next year. The signing of these nations has people locally and globally excited that this partnership will usher in the New World Order.
Nan Hua Performing Arts Group translates convo with Jinping for Briefly News
The Nan Hua Performing Arts Group told Briefly News that they were performing the "war drum" for the presidents, symbolising physical and spiritual power.
"We first greeted him and said, 'Hello, how are you? We are from Fo Guang Shan, Nan Hua Temple in South Africa. Our main headquarters is in Taiwan. We promote the spread of Chinese culture in countries worldwide, and our Chinese drum coaches are from mainland China and Taiwan. We were nervous and excited when we performed for the presidents, and it was a joyful moment for us," the group said.
