'This is our country!' says Chinese official as Obama lands
Hangzhou, China - When US President Barack Obama arrived in China Saturday for his final trip to Asia as commander in chief, the ceremonial niceties were marred by an undiplomatic shouting incident on the tarmac.
Chinese authorities have imposed extremely tight security precautions for the G20 summit, and not even US National Security Adviser Susan Rice and the White House press corps proved exempt when Air Force One landed in host city Hangzhou.
As usual when Obama travels, the reporters accompanying him were brought under the wing of the Boeing 747 to watch him come down the aircraft stairs, penned off behind a blue rope installed by Chinese security.
But that was not far away enough for the Chinese personnel, one of whom screamed at White House staff, demanding the US press leave the scene.
