To the plane of Obama in China did not file a ladder. VIDEO
Two incidents at the airport in Hangzhou on arrival of the President of the United States at the summit were in the field of vision of the world media.
On Saturday, September 3, the plane of President Barack Obama at Hangzhou airport, contrary to the protocol, did not fit the ladder with the red carpet, and he was forced to go down the sidewalk at the tail end of the liner.
In accordance with generally accepted practice, all reporters who flew with Obama were herded under the wing of the presidential plane. Journalists watched him walk down the ramp from behind the blue tape that security had used to mark the press area. Then one of the Chinese security officials suddenly demanded that the journalists disappear. A representative of the Obama delegation reminded the guard that this was an American plane belonging to the President of the United States, to which he responded to her by shouting: “This is our country! This is our airport!
When US national security adviser Susan Rice and presidential aide Ben Rhodes attempted to get closer to Obama on the take-off field and picked up the blue marking tape, PRC security officials blocked their path.
“We just couldn’t expect this,” Rice said later, commenting on what happened.
Obama: "We don't leave our valuables at home"
Obama acknowledged that tensions arose between the United States and China over the presence of journalists at the summit in Hangzhou, which Washington insisted.
“We believe that the media should have access to the work that we do, that they should have the ability to answer questions,” he said on September 4. “And when we go on trips, we don’t leave our values and ideals at home.”
On this day, the problems of journalists from the United States at the G20 summit continued when they were not allowed to take part in the solemn reception on the occasion of the opening of the event.
Exchange of verbal beats
At the same time, the US president said that the summit was starting very productively and urged not to attach too much importance to incidents at the airport. During the day, representatives of the PRC and the United States, traditionally competing in geopolitics, repeatedly exchanged verbal blows.
China conducts construction work on islands in the South China Sea, seeks to oust the United States from the region and at the same time increase its own influence. Washington makes it clear that it will not allow this. The end of the struggle for spheres of influence is not expected, experts say.
