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.

Let me be the first to say it, “The Chinese officials acted stupidly (racist)”....
"Rook, he have rice in hair!!"
Rice was frightened/triggered by someone who doesn’t look like her.
What theyre saying is Well, we know were not very good but you cant risk electing Obama. You know, hes new, he doesnt look like the other presidents on the currency, hes a got a funny name. -BHO
Too strange that there is no film of this flexing of muscle by the Chinese.
Where is the film? China wanted their huff and puff seen by the nation, right?
As for Rice, for once she was probably somewhat humbled by her first experience with push back in her face. Eureka!
Agreed.
The titles often turn out to melt like butter shortly after the reader’s click and peruse.
I get your point...but...diplomatically if Obama was on the plane and on Chinese soil, then any diss is disrespectful to Obama, and 2) Susan Rice is a high-level Obama official. Drudge is not that far off.
"This is our country. This is our airport," the security official said in English, pointing and speaking angrily with the aide....while the US aide insisted that the journalists be allowed to stand behind a rope line.
Here you see reporters on the left and right in their faces....well known to push through any restrictions.
Shouldn’t rice, the liar, be in prison?
will be ignored by 95% of the American media, because the American media is a slave to Hussein.
Wait...I thought the Chineese love Rice :-0
Are we sure this wasn’t staged by Obama to start something with China?
Director National Security Agency (DIRNSA,) or as he is referred to by the worker bees, "Big Daddy."
It would be great theater to see Rice being tackled by Chinese security and then hauled off to the klink for 30 days. In my dreams only, unfortunately.
ummm.....that’s Japan....just sayin’
Big deal.
Hillary’s people bark at their Ministry of Truth stooges to not take any photos of her Heinous boarding or leaving an airplane.
And we know why, but it can’t get out to the rest of the country that she’s a brain-damaged, stove-up old woman.
