Barack Obama 'deliberately snubbed' by Chinese in chaotic arrival at G20

[danger007]

I don't see anything called bravado here.. When you are holding an event like G20 summit, should behave like professional.. just silly uncivilised planning.

Chinese forgot that UN annual meeting is due in few days. This is just low stuff not an attitude of the so called second biggest power in the world. I wouldnt mind next tim when Chinese president visit have him land in mexico or Canada and find his way to NYC from there.

Eh, there's no point.

Obama suggested his Chinese hosts might have found the size of the US delegation “a little overwhelming”.

“We’ve got a lot of planes, a lot of helicopters, a lot of cars and a lot of guys. If you are a host country, sometimes it may feel a little bit much.”

Learn to write proper English before you dream such ridiculous shenanigans. The Chinese have the balls to put Obama in his place and Pakistan under General Zia use to do the same thing.

Lol so China put Obama in his place by showing it can be a bad host or that it placed incompetent officials in charge? Ok, Chile has that power too. Congratulations!

China doesn't kow tow to American demands like you Indians do.

American officials are used to throwing their weight around and getting what they want and getting worshipped. If that's what Americans hoped for, they are in the wrong country.

China has rules and protocols, American officials didn't follow those protocols.

A country and people that don't show respect don't deserve to be respected back.

Don't compare your India to China.

Obama regime probably thought they could come to China and act like a king and boss everyone around because he is the US president.

I think it's because other countries are so petrified of the US, that they just let the US do whatever they please even in their own country. The US so used to such arse kissing treatment from other countries, thought they could do the same in China.

This is China. Not some American vassal that worship America and let them do whatever they please.

It's good the Chinese security stood up to American thuggery. If other leaders and their entourages can behave themselves in a foreign country, why can't the Yanks?

America might be used to being worshipped by other countries, but don't expect that from China and Russia.

Well done China

i think china is doing that to show-case usa's allies not to mess around with china also.

No it is specifically to the terrible behaviour of the Yankees.

They think they can do whatever they want in foreign countries. Other countries will accept getting bullied by US thuggery. China won't accept such behaviour. That's why Chinese officials did what it did.

If it was me, I'll tell the Yanks you either behave according to Chinese protocols and if you can't, you can go back home. Don't need to kiss the Yankee ring.

Guests are supposed to behave properly, not act like they own the hosts place.

Our PM Modiji was treated well, thank you for that China. It doesn't matters to us what you did with USA prez, they always asks for extra treatment, thank god obama didn't brought his wife this time . Otherwise it would have been embarrassing for her.

I have always noticed this overwhelming gesture of US presidents at global meets and their lust for dominating other leaders . This time also Obama was seen patting Ji, this was pathetic, every time a USA prez tries to dominate others.

What planet have you been living on? American media is full of trash where gullible burger eating fools listen to anti-China rhetorics. India is no better or doesn't Arnab Goswami not ring a bell.



You really are dumb. If Jlaw is an arrogant Chinese then why did you respond back to him...seriously what have you been smoking lately?

you proved my point...

Reminds me of incident some years back. Our company officials came from England and German driver was not willing to speak English. He asked me to explain the officials that they are in Germany and have to use German language for conversations.

Good, we don't want to speak German when they come here, and we also delivered our Brexit in English to them.

Good one.

Looking at the events it doesn't look like it was planned.

The response "It's our country/airport" was to the statement "That's our plane" etc etc which in itself was arrogant.

It's really being blown out of proportion.

 

[Götterdämmerung]

Yankees think that their airplane has the same status as an embassy. They probably think that anything a Yankee touches becomes their property.

Next year, it's our turn to host the G20 in my city. It's going to be a nightmare for all of us, knowing from previous Yankee prez visits.

The world has changed and people have not noticed.

It changed when China's ultimatum was honoured by IMF and on Oct 1st RMB will be in SDR from then on welcome to Financial OBOR!

By letting others wait intentionally too exaggerate sense of importance has been Obama's hallmark.

If anyone was trying to insult anyone..it was Obama by arriving late and expecting the Chinese bending over backwards to recieve him. His entire plan to inflict visiual insult to the Chinese People did not work.

All those poster here trying to tell China about professionalism and hospitality must drink black mud of hatred for their dishonesty and their vulgar rejoice of somehow US will create any difficulties for China.

Sad and pathetic behaviour by these posters.

The global empire has ended. The empire knows it. It is now just bluffing. China has called that bluff in SCS and everywhere else. No more insults will be accepted. Period.

There was no intention of any slight or silly snub by China. To what benefit?

What the Chinese officials did was correct in every sense. They refused to be intimidated by the overacting press or US officials...

By drawing the line in the sand they made their point...by doing so China has served humanity and broken the myth of ominpotence of the global empire.

The Great Power relationship is from now on based upon equality and mutual respect.

Vulgar posts against China will continue. If not this thread then the next or the next...

It is in the little things that the signs of great changes reside.

Chinese friends and brothers must stop explaining to the indians what China did or did not do. Let us break this habbit of explaining things to those who have only intentions to malign China regardless of the Truth.

Aslo the Pak friends and brothers...even here you stand with China. Thank you!

G20 ‘staircase snub’ for Obama was United States’ decision, reveals Chinese official

Foreign ministry official says Washington turned down Beijing’s proposal to provide rolling red-carpet stairway for US leader when he arrived at Hangzhou airport for G20 summit


It was Washington’s decision to have US President Barack Obama disembark from his plane through a small bare metal stairway instead of the usual rolling red-carpet staircase that state leaders get, a Chinese foreign ministry official has revealed.

Speculation has been flying about whether China was deliberately snubbing Obama since media reports on Saturday showed the US leader exiting the Air Force One through the small stairway.

But this was not the case, according to the Chinese official involved in the diplomatic arrangements.

“China provides a rolling staircase for every arriving state leader, but the US side complained that the driver doesn’t speak English and can’t understand security instructions from the United States; so China proposed that we could assign a translator to sit beside the driver, but the US side turned down the proposal and insisted that they didn’t need the staircase provided by the airport,” the official told the South China Morning Post on Sunday.

It would do China no good in treating Obama rudely, added the official, who declined to be named as she was not authorised to speak to the press.

On Sunday, Obama told reporters that the significance of a row between US and Chinese officials on the airport tarmac upon his arrival should not be overblown.



“I wouldn’t overcrank the significance” of tensions at the airport, Obama said later on Sunday, according to Reuters. “Part of it is we also have a much bigger footprint than a lot of other countries. We’ve got a lot of planes, a lot of helicopters, a lot of cars, a lot of guys. You know, if you’re a host country, sometimes it may feel a little bit much.”


While Obama did not disembark from a carpeted staircase, the red carpet was still rolled out for him as he was led to his black limousine, which was brought to China beforehand.

Experts with diplomatic experience said China had no reason to mistreat Obama when Xi was working on improving Sino-US ties.

“Sino-US relations are so important to China, and there’s absolutely no logic in creating trouble or to downgrade treatment for the US president,” said He Weiwen, a former economic counsellor at the Chinese consulate in San Francisco and New York and now an executive council member at the China Society for WTO Studies.

Shi Yinhong, an international affairs professor at Renmin University, said that during Obama’s previous visits to China, the two sides would compromise and allow each side to take charge of parts of the security arrangement, but there could be glitches.

“It would be a departure from regular diplomatic practice if the United States was in charge of the entire security arrangement for its president in the visiting country,” Shi said.


“And if they do arrange the whole thing, it might not yield the best result because they are not so familiar with the situation on the ground in China.”

Staircase absence aside, the Associated Press reported on the tarmac on Saturday of a quarrel that broke out between a US presidential aide and a Chinese official who demanded that the journalists travelling with Obama be prohibited from getting anywhere near him.

It was a breach of the tradition observed whenever the American president arrives in a foreign place.

When the White House official insisted the US would set the rules for its own leader, her Chinese counterpart shot back: “This is our country! This is our airport!”

A Chinese official also tried to keep Obama’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, away from her boss.

“They did things that weren’t anticipated,” Rice said when asked by a reporter about the incident.

Later, two Chinese officials – one working to assist the American delegation – had to be physically separated after trying to hit each other outside an event, Associated Press reported.
