A Chinese official confronted U.S. President Barack Obama's national security adviser on the tarmac on Saturday prompting the Secret Service to intervene, an unusual altercation as China implements strict controls ahead of a big summit.
The stakes are high for China to pull off a trouble-free G20 summit of the world's top economies, its highest profile event of the year, as it looks to cement its global standing and avoid acrimony over a long list of tensions with Washington.
Shortly after Obama's plane landed in the eastern city of Hangzhou, a Chinese official attempted to prevent his national security adviser Susan Rice from walking to the motorcade as she crossed a media rope line, speaking angrily to her before a Secret Service agent stepped between the two.
Rice responded but her comments were inaudible to reporters standing underneath the wing of Air Force One. It was unclear if the official, whose name was not immediately clear, knew that Rice was a senior official and not a reporter.
The same official shouted at a White House press aide who was instructing foreign reporters on where to stand as they recorded Obama disembarking from the plane.
"This is our country. This is our airport," the official said in English, pointing and speaking angrily with the aide.

A Chinese propaganda tool...
Tuff guy...
Given that Rice is involved, I’ll give the benefit of the doubt to the Red Chinese.
Drudge headline: CHINESE OFFICIAL CONFRONTS OBAMA ON TARMAC; SECRET SERVICE JUMPS IN
Susan Rice was confronted, not nobama. In fact article says, “... The altercation occurred out of sight of Obama...”
SS did not “jump in.” Article says, “... Secret Service agent stepped between the two.”
Drudge needs to get his stuff together. Sensational headlines that aren’t true turn viewers off.
I don’t know why the ChiComs should be concerned - Obama only shows up at these gigs to bash America.
He doesn’t deserve it.
“Obama gets no respect!”
He doesn’t deserve any respect.
He hasn't earned it, even after 8 years at the helm.
But to their culture, “face” (trivial propaganda though it may seem to the Obola-worshipping/Hillary-promoting US national press corpse!) IS extremely important.
Losing “face” and control in public? Extremely insulting.
Obama is getting tuff now! /s
Will she blame it on a video?
and the G20 hosts are all over Obama’s NSA chief like chinks on rice !
China shows how the press is whipped like a dog in a one party State. Funny thing is, presstitues in this country are trying their best to propel our own country into a one party State with the Dems as the one party.
Democrats think they are the last word in cultural sensitivity, but here they stepped in it big time. I’m sure if they had coordinated properly with the Chinese officials they could have figured out what would work, but instead Rice & co. thought they could swagger and act like they run the show.
“NSA chief”
Susan Rice is National Security Advisor. “NSA chief” implies that she is the head of the National Security Agency, which she is not.
Hillary and the USMSM would have you believe that all that world but big, bad countries like the US are open-borders paradises. The Chinese aren't fooled and they brook no USMSM "We control the optics. We own the narrative." shenanigans.
Ironically, I see how the Chinese official was asserting their right to control what happens in their own country. The Chinese aren’t going to be pw’d by no stinking UN like our politicians want America to be. Nope.
these were the chicaps dissing the marxist Obamas
