Obama Team and Chinese Government Officials in Fracas at China Airport
Category: World News
China on Monday
leveled responsibility at the United States and journalists for a fracas
at a Chinese airport, in which officials of both countries exchanged
heated remarks as President Barack Obama disembarked from his aircraft.
The
comments by a foreign ministry spokeswoman were in response to
questions whether China, which is hosting a G20 summit meeting in its
eastern city of Hangzhou, intentionally failed to provide Obama's plane
with a staircase, an event that has fueled speculation it was a
diplomatic snub.
"I think if only
the American group had respected the working arrangements first made
with China then this wouldn't have occurred," Hua Chunying told
reporters in Beijing on Monday.
"You
saw that all the other country leaders all used the stairs that China
provided. So why was it only the United States that didn't? These were
the stairs the United States requested."
Hua
questioned why China would intentionally create trouble for the United
States, adding that the incident was not a high-level issue, echoing
comments made by Obama on Sunday.
A
Chinese security official had also blocked National Security Adviser
Susan Rice on the tarmac and yelled at another U.S. official trying to
help journalists get closer to Obama.
Hua
criticized the media for not respecting China's rules on where to stand
to capture images of the Obama leaving the plane, adding that other
countries' reporters were fine.
