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.

Everybody was kung fu fighting....
Ha! Its because Susan Rice is BLACK and the “Chinese official” thought she was a maid or helper, not the US Nat Security Advisor.
Chinese Racism!
“Daddy DIRNSA,” actually.
Oh yeah, the BIG liar who's qualification to be the NSA is she played good college basketball.
She deserves to be screamed at!.
28 years. I never heard it without the “Big” prefix.
36 years, but I was mostly trick trash so our lingo might have varied. I have heard it with the Big, too.
Who’s the statuesque brunette in the white blouse and pleated skirt?
She looks fantastic.
As for the Chinese guy’s confrontational comments, he’s just voicing the anti-elitist, anti-globalist spirit of the times. My hat is off to him.
Drudge could have used “Obama administration official” or he could have just used “Susan Rice.” But he specifically used “Obama.” It’s called clickbait and I’m sorry to see it used on Drudge.
Looks like Samantha Power, far lefty.
Respect is earned and 0 has earned as much respect as your average Kardashian.
THERE WILL BE NO FIGHTING IN THE WAR ROOM !
