First, in violation of the Protocol to the American Board No. 1 has not adjusted the ladder with the red carpet, and Barack Obama was forced to climb down the emergency ladder in the rear of the liner.
Flew with Obama reporters, in accordance with conventional practice, was sent under the wing of the presidential plane, where they watched the President down the ladder. Suddenly a member of the Chinese security service demanded that the journalists disappeared. And when a member of the U.S. delegation reminded the guard that is the plane owned by the President of the United States, he began to shout in response: "This is our country! This is our airport!"
Our troubles were not over. When the US presidential Advisor for national security Susan rice and assistant to the President Ben Rhodes tried to get Obama off the field, the security personnel of China had blocked their path. "We expect just could not", - commented on the incident rays.
Obama himself urged not to attach too much importance to incidents at the airport, noting that he would not overestimate the importance of the episode with the ladder.
However, the problems of American journalists at the summit continued, when they were not admitted to solemn reception on the occasion of the opening of the event.
Moreover, according to the correspondent of The Washington Post at the residence, where Obama and Chinese President XI Jinping held bilateral talks, which nearly came to blows with the participation of employees of security services of China and their colleagues in other government departments. A brawl was averted at the last moment through the intervention of an employee of the Chinese foreign Ministry and the representative of the White house.
