NYP Reporter: Prior to boarding Air Force One to depart Beijing, the entire U.S. delegation disposed of every item provided to them by their Chinese hosts. Gifts, badges, pins, and commemorative items were all dumped into a trash bin on site. The directive was absolute, no item of Chinese origin was permitted to board the aircraft. The precautions extended beyond the departure itself. Delegation members had left all personal electronic devices at home before traveling to China and operated exclusively on clean burner phones throughout the duration of the trip.

Very wise.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me - no Chi Com electronic cooties hitching a ride on AF1.
Overkill
Wouldn’t it be better to tell the Chinese that they are not allowed to take any gifts so thanks but no thanks before hand. Instead of just tossing everything into the garbage.
Throwing away lapel pins? Makes us look kind of lame.
And yet U.S. is contracting with China to build aircraft? So throwing away these gifts is just virtue signaling and an insult to the giver. Isn’t the normal course of action to declare the items and if over a certain value surrender them?
It goes back to the 1950’s. The Soviet Union Gifted the US Ambassador a hand carved plaque of the US Great Seal. It had a remote controlled bug in it.............

Danger of listening devices embedded in them, no matter how small they are................
They forgot to dump the leaker in the bin as well. Seems strange to omit the security precaution of preventing leaks such as this which would undermine any negotiations or agreements entered into.

How do you know they aren’t an eavesdropping device?

Absolutely not.
The Chicoms should never be trusted.
We finally have someone in control of security, doing his job.
And easily detected once they get back to the US. Sorry, not buying this story.....
Yeah, no chance the Chinese can hide embedded devices in any aircraft they build and ship to the US. /s
The directive was absolute, no item of Chinese origin was permitted to board the aircraft.

Put them on Ebay. They’ll get here one way or another.
This is most likely fiction designed by Obama, the tweeter, some other entity, in the hope that it would cause trouble for Trump or by a CCP opponent of Xi.m to cause anger at the insult.
It’s SOP....................
No. Being smart. I’d trust the chicoms as far as I could throw them.
