Bumpy start to Obama’s China trip, beginning with the stairs
JOSH LEDERMAN,Associated Press 3 hours ago
A confrontation between a White House aide and a Chinese official, and other diplomatic dust-ups were out in the open from the moment Air Force One landed in Hangzhou, site of an economic summit.
The first sign of trouble: There was no staircase for Obama to exit the plane and descend on the red carpet. Obama used an alternative exit.
On the tarmac, a quarrel broke out between a presidential aide and a Chinese official who demanded the journalists traveling 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 U.S. would set the rules for its own leader, her Chinese counterpart shot back.
“This is our country! This is our airport!” the Chinese official yelled.
Also, a Chinese official tried to keep Obama’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, away from her boss.
Rice seemed less than amused by the incident when asked about it by a reporter.
“They did things that weren’t anticipated,” she said.
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.
HANGZHOU, China (AP) ” If President Barack Obama was hoping for a graceful start to his final trip to Asia as commander in chief, this wasn’t it.

One would think the lack of a staircase to deplane by would have sent a message to the President that he wasn’t truly welcome.

It could have been worse for Obama. He could have done a Gerald Ford down the airplane stairs.

The confrontation at the airport is classic Ugly American. Perhaps they should have refused the POtuS admission to their country.

The Chinese were just reacting retroactive to Michelle’s visit in 2014 that trashed a hotel and disrespected the employees.

China, Rothchild, many of the upper 1%ers are buying gold like crazy. Global banks are replacing dollars( which is normally used for trade deals) with gold. At the end of this month a new global currency backed with gold will be used for trade. Obama has issued an executive order which places all resources under him in an emergency. What could go wrong?

Sounds just like a democrat. Is a guest in someone else country, tries to take over it, start a argument, and do what ever they want. Oblivious to the host countries rules and laws. Im glad the china man decided to grab his balls and tell that obama tramp that it was his country,

This only prove how foreign nations views us as weak and with out respect. This Presidency has brought the U.S.A. down by drawing lines then do nothing when they are crossed.
I suppose this is what Obama views us to be with the reset of the world.

Uh oh, looks like egos were gravely injured that day. China trying to stand up and be a big boy by using soft politics like setting the agenda for American personnel, trying to one up their American counterparts, how childish. I love the “This is our country! This is our airport!” line though, someone should tell that guy to return to the fields and harvest Bok Choy for the banquet like a good mainlander.

“This is our country! This is our airport!” the Chinese official yelled.
heh! heh! No need to sweat over this…..it is just a case of lost in translation kinda thing. Recall the case of a colleague of mine who fresh out of college from Nebraska came in to join our company in Palo Alto, CA. On her second week on the job she experienced an earth quake for the first time in her life. I recall it was mild, around 3.5 on the Richter scale and while we seasoned Californians went about nonchalantly, just shrugging it off, my Chinese colleague now in full panic, she ran down the hall crying/ shouting,” I am killed, I am killed”!

Etiquette problems happen at all levels of societal and governmental exchanges and can be exacerbated by cross cultural situations. Most Americans wouldn’t know their way around a table service if you gave ’em a map. But give them four ounces of overcooked dead animal flesh wrapped inthin paper and a box of pom frites and they’ll lick the salt off the table. So unless someone is applying for assistant nincompooop to Donald Trump, it’s best not to criticize other peoples.

Is Obama gonna have a few words about China supplying all comers with elephant tranquilizer to add to cuts of heroin? How about supplying Mexico with all the meth ingredients cartels want? How about flooding Amazon with counterfeit goods and fake reviews? Sensing a pattern here?

China has no respect and nothing but contempt for America’s weak and spineless Chief Executive. They play with him like a cat with a little mouse. Empty suits like Obama, Kerry and Clinton are catnip for these tyrants.
Let’s just hope Putin, Iran, North Korea or ISIS don’t poke … Keep reading

Susan Rice , it was the fault of an angry film maker. Crush the truth , you are going to prison ,with Obuck & crew. A long overdue flushing of these turds is what the nation needs. Spin your lies to the judge ,traitors ,I am sure the judge will not be as tolerant ,after the elections.

ANOTHER trip around the world for this 7 1/2 year lame duck resident!
Obama is an ego maniac who obviously find it troubling when he finds out that the rest of the world doesn’t idolize like he idolizes himself. Bravo to China for standing up to Obama the ego maniac.
