When president Barack Obama arrived in China on Saturday, typical pleasantries were spoiled slightly after a Chinese official began shouting at U.S. White House staff. Chinese authorities have imposed extremely tight security precautions for the G20 summit. Not even U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice and the White House press corps proved exempt when Air Force One landed in host city Hangzhou.
A female White House official, handbag over her arm, told him that it was an American plane and the U.S. president.
‘This is our country!’ the Chinese official, in a dark suit, shouted at her in English. ‘This is our airport!’
