Row on tarmac an awkward G20 start for U.S., China

A Chinese official confronted U.S. President Barack Obama's national security adviser on the tarmac on Saturday prompting the Secret Service to intervene, an unusual altercation as China implements strict controls ahead of a big summit.

The stakes are high for China to pull off a trouble-free G20 summit of the world's top economies, its highest profile event of the year, as it looks to cement its global standing and avoid acrimony over a long list of tensions with Washington.

Shortly after Obama's plane landed in the eastern city of Hangzhou, a Chinese official attempted to prevent his national security adviser Susan Rice from walking to the motorcade as she crossed a media rope line, speaking angrily to her before a Secret Service agent stepped between the two.

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING -- The Chinese government got into a mini-brawl with White House senior staff and the press corps on the tarmac in Hangzhou, China!

Per the WSJ’s Carol Lee, the press pooler in Hangzhou: “A bit of chaos on the tarmac. Pool was brought under the wing of AF1 per usual but the scene was not per usual. There were no stairs to the top door to AF1, instead President Obama exited via the lower level stairs so pool could hardly see him, and only for a split second as he exited at 2:30pm. A member of the Chinese delegation was screaming at White House staff from the moment pool got onto the tarmac. He wanted [the] US press to leave. The Chinese had put up a blue rope under the wing so pool had to stand behind it.

“This man was demanding the pool, which was behind the blue rope, get away from the arrival scene altogether. At one point a White House official told him this was our president and our plane and the press wasn't moving. The man yelled, ‘this is our country.’ He yelled at another White House official and got testy with Susan Rice and Ben Rhodes, seeming to try to block them from walking closer to the arrival scene after they lifted the blue rope and walked to the other side of it, nearer to POTUS. The red carpet was lined on both sides with greeters so there was no ability for cameras to get a photo or video footage of POTUS greeting people as he walked to the presidential limo, which was at the end of the red carpet. Motorcade was rolling within minutes after that warm welcome. Thanks to Mark Landler for the assist.”

WaPo’s WILLIAM WAN: “A group of white house staff arriving in advance of president at the Westlake statehouse (along with pool press) were stopped at security checkpoint at gate. White house staff, protocol officers and secret service, trying to enter separately from press, spent 15 mins in heated arguments with chinese officials. US officials could be heard arguing in chinese with chinese security officials over how many americans could be allowed to go through security at a time. How many people the white house were allowed to be in building before the president’s arrival. Which US officials were on which list in a folder with a thick pile of name lists. ‘The president is arriving here in an hour’ one white house staffer was overheard saying in exasperation.

“As the disagreement escalated, a chinese official assisting the Americans grew angered by how guards were treating the white house staff and began yelling, nearly coming to blows with one of the chinese security officials. ‘You don't push people. No one gave you the right to touch or push anyone around,’ he yelled in chinese at one of the chinese security officials. Another chinese official trying to help US officials stepped between the two who were arguing once the security official began approaching, looking like he was going to throw a punch. ‘Calm down please. Calm down,’ pleaded a White House official. ‘Stop, please,’ said a foreign ministry official in chinese. ‘There are reporters here.’

“Once inside, white house press officers engaged in another fight over how many american journalists would be allowed. ‘You are only allowed 10,’ said a chinese official. ‘That’s not right,’ said a white house [press] official. 20 minutes before obama's arrival, us press officers were still arguing in the room where the two presidents would soon be meeting along with ban ki moon to talk of their cooperation. As US [officials] pleaded for two Us journalist left outside to be allowed to stand in the back of the room. ‘There's space. They are print reporters. They would just be just standing,’ said one white house press officer. It was a fight they did not win.” (They eventually made it in, per a subsequent pool report.)

China’s leaders have been accused of delivering a calculated diplomatic snub to Barack Obama after the US president was denied a red-carpet welcome during his chaotic arrival in Hangzhou ahead of the start of the G20.

Chinese authorities have rolled out the red carpet for leaders including India’s prime minister Narendra Modi, Russian president Vladimir Putin, South Korean president Park Geun-hye, Brazil’s president Michel Temer and British prime minister Theresa May, who touched down on Sunday morning.

But the leader of the world’s largest economy, who is on his final tour of Asia, was forced to disembark from Air Force One through a little-used exit in the plane’s belly after no rolling staircase was provided when he landed in the eastern Chinese city on Saturday afternoon.

“The reception that President Obama and his staff got when they arrived here Saturday afternoon was bruising, even by Chinese standards,” the New York Times reported.

The dumbarse should have never left the plane and flown home but he's too dumb to know when he's been dissed.

[Vulcan]

I can't help but laugh.  Obama is so full of himself that it had to have irked him sorely.

He's an idiot.  This was 18 months ago.

“People don’t remember, but when I came into office, the Untied States in world opinion ranked below China and just barley above Russia, and today once again, the Untied States is the most respected country on earth." ~Barack Obama, Jan 2015

Delicious.

Ain't it though?  The man is a failure on so many fronts it's hard to keep track.

Makes it all worth while. What an embarrassment he is.

Still doing that meercat thing with his hands as he walks down the stairs.

Wouldn't we like to see Hillary try that, while walking down the stairs to the tarmac?

I can't help but wonder if that wasn't a calculated move on the ChiComs' part to illustrate what 'orifice' they most relate to when it comes to thinking 'at all' about Barack Hussein Obama.  If they could have, they would have made him exit out of the rear end of the plane...lol.

This was several years ago, and it's only gotten worse.

Seems more like a deliberate provocation by the Chinese who are usually pretty good at protocol.

Who here thinks that if they out-and-out assassinated him on the tarmac yesterday that the US would not treat it in the vein of Pearl Harbor?

Anybody that needs to ask why not...should simply go to YouTube and watch their Opening Ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games.

Nope....they'd go straight to the USS Missouri reenactment.

It sure does @Longmire .... protocol is sacrosanct for the Chinese.  I just can't figure out what they thought they'd gain by dissing their reliable benefactor.

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

Jorge Guajardo, Mexico’s former ambassador to China, said he was convinced Obama’s treatment was part of a calculated snub.
