Bowing has consequences.
No “snub” is what will be claimed ... by OBOALA’s national press corpse in ABCNNBCBS TV media.
The rest of the world knows better.
Bowing has consequences.
The way I see this working is a state department functionary would arrive early and work out every detail of the president’s visit. He would have a schedule. Plane arrives at 11:00, rolls to reception area. Stairs are rolled up. Greeting ceremony by (fill-in-name.)
If there was a problem, this state department functionary should have alerted his contact on the plane. The plane would then circle while the issues were worked out. If the issues were not properly worked out a decision should be made. For a snub this obvious, I’d say the plane should not land. Instead, it should re-file a flight plan for Taiwan. Then see how fast the stairs get rolled out.
I think that at least half the problem is in the state department or the White House staff.
At the very least, a good state department guy would bribe the socks off some airport official and a set of stairs would roll out regardless.
To make matters worse the elaborate take out state dinner was followed by a generous handout of fortune cookies containing bad one liners and bogus lottery numbers.
Considering how Obama used to deeply bow before every 3rd world potentate that he met he shouldn’t have any problem with shabby treatment by his Chinese overlords.
They are sending him, and by extension the USA and our allies, a message about who is now the hegemon in that part of the globe.
China is Fake just like Obama
Runner-ups are Putin for snubbing Kerry and Erdogan for snubbing Biden ... but the Chinese doing this to the Golfer himself are the clear winners.
Another vainglorious buffoon
Except Rodney was likeable but harmless and Obama isn't.
When I asked Mr. Xi about the Chinese government’s refusal to renew visas for foreign correspondents, including some from The New York Times, he offered a curt lecture.
"When one’s car breaks down, he said, “perhaps we need to get off the car and see where the problem lies.” . . . Mr. Xi

I can imagine if the Chinese had pulled this on President Trump, he’d have stayed on the plane and told the pilot to go to the nearest friendly country for refueling and return home.
Maybe Hussein should just debarked first without the Queen’s Court in a sundress and parasol. The ChiComs might have respected him for “who he is.”
Btw — anyone catch our Queen sipping tea with the ChiCom leader? This punk can’t fake anything.
Obama is a jerk! He deserves China snubbing him and the constant harassment Obama’s new BFF Iran is giving to him. Iran will repeat on America what it did to Carter.
They see Obama as the bumbling, stupid, affirmative action idiot that he really is. This was a preplanned slap in the face of Obama and insult of Obama and through him America. They will treat their paid for puppet Hillary Clinton no better.
If toy cannot respect the man, at least respect the office. Obama disrespected his own office by allowing himself to be treated in such a shabby manner.
I agree that they shouldn’t have landed in the first place, but having done so, they should have opened the upper door, and looked out and asked “where are the stairs?”. If the stairs weren’t immediately forthcoming, they should have closed the door and taken off.
(If it were me, I would have unzipped my fly and urinated out the open door before closing it, but I’m not exactly big on diplomacy.)
LOL China. Patriots in the United States feel the exact same way about Nobama and Susan Rice, “This is our country! You are not welcome here!”
“Obama, who meets with President Xi Jinping at a G20 summit next week in China, told CNN the United States supports the peaceful rise of China but that Beijing had to recognize that “with increasing power comes increasing responsibilities,” a quote taken by Obama’s speechwriter from the Spiderman movie.”
(LOL - from Spiderman???- Oh God, save us..)
