Like a weapon in his public-speaking arsenal, Donald Trump wields the word ...
"In China, China, China, China, China!"
The United States Republican presidential candidate does not hesitate to name China as a country worsening many of the US economic woes.
"China is sucking us dry. They're taking our money, taking our jobs … They are stealing billions and billions of dollars."
But he insists the issue is not personal.
"I'm not saying they're stupid. I like China. I just sold an apartment for $15 million to somebody from China!"
And the Chinese students in an American Politics class at Beijing's Foreign Studies University like him, too.
When asked who they would prefer, the majority raised their hands for Mr Trump over Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Why?
(First:) "Trump is a businessman and interest-driven, and that's not bad for China."
(Second:) "Trump has a more unpredictable and fresh approach."
(Third:) "Current Sino-US relations are not good, and Hillary will make it worse, especially over the South China Sea."
Many in China see Donald Trump as candid and transparent, while many believe Ms Clinton has a hidden agenda and is bent on halting China's rise.
Professor Zhou Xinyu teaches American Politics at Beijing Foreign Studies University.
He echoes concerns raised about Ms Clinton.
"Hillary's perceived as dishonest, too calculating. And it's probably also related to her time as secretary of state. That's why so many people here support Trump. No matter what his drawbacks are, we feel we can see through him."
Ms Clinton's criticism of China's actions in the South China Sea and its human-rights record have added to her unpopularity.
The campaign has been closely watched in China, particularly by expatriates.
Ada Shen has lived and worked in China for 18 years.
She says Mr Trump's Chinese supporters are misguided.
"We know that this is an extremely important relationship. They're a major trading partner. They're a major ally in the fight against climate change. Someone like Trump doesn't seem to understand or care."
Speaking from New York, Chinese activist and artist Ai Wei Wei says it is Mr Trump's strength, not his words, that appeals to the Chinese.
"A lot of Chinese love Putin, the Russian. So they all love the strong leaders."
Mr Trump's call to "Make America Great Again" is also seen as similar to Chinese president Xi Jinping's "China Dream."
Zhou Xinyu says China hopes whoever becomes president will be comfortable with China's emerging international role.
"Most important is somehow making Americans believe their interests won't be harmed with China's growth and with this new order in Asia."
