Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is finishing up his trip to China, where he earned the affectionate nickname little potato.

The primary goal of the trip has been to strengthen business ties with China, the worlds second-largest economy.

Trudeau is following in the footsteps of his father, former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who established diplomatic ties with China.

Trudeau, well-known around the world for his use of social media, has been given the nickname xiao tudou, or little potato, as the name Trudeau sounds similar to the Mandarin word for potato.
