Giving Face is a Paramount Chinese trait. It is an ultimate reverence to a guest. Even a simple and ordinary one.
The treatment accorded to Obama on his arrival in Hangzhou on 3rd Sept 2016 for the G20 Summit was therefore ANATHEMA to a Chinese anywhere in the World. It runs against every drop of blood in his body !
Not only was Obama denied a Red Carpet welcome but completely ignored and had to sneak out from a back ramp in Air Force One. And a Chinese male official, behaving like the attack dogs equivalent of Hannity and O' Reilly of Fox, railed at a US female official at the tarmac. Under normal circumstances, not only would he lose his job but sentenced to 20 years hard labor.
All other guests received the Red Carpet treatment, even non-G20 members like PM Lee Hsien Loong of frugal Singapore arriving in a tiny jet plane.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED ???????.......
To understand, you need to fully digest the background given in my earlier posts to make sense of what I am about to further reveal. The posts: Obama Fires (17 July 2016) and Obama Unfitness (21 June 2016). Many friends and associates contacted me to ask why I am so harsh towards Obama in those posts?
I am not being harsh but honest. Hoping my honesty will toughen Obama in the face of the inevitabilities of this Hangzhou Type of Incident (HTI). It has happened quicker than I anticipated. In fact, I realised my entire Blog is nuanced to such an incident occurring and it is relevant as my mission is to observe and comment on WASP/China issues to preserve World Peace. It is now patently clear I have a case.
HTI is just the beginning of Terrible Things to happen to the World and it is sad to see Obama pathetically down-playing it and consoling himself with totally wrongly attributed causes. He tried to pin HTI on to the travelling WH juggernaut that had flabbergasted the Chinese.
No, Obama, it's not about the planes, helicopters and cars. The Chinese are cut out to relish on extravagant Pomp and Fanfare when and where and to whom they are deserving. Through millennia of Imperial Civilization, they have cultivated in-built radars in their DNA to sense Weak Leaders and their Horrendous Consequences.
Just to share a feel from history of plausible Chinese extremities in this regard, look to the fate of the last Ming Dynasty Emperor Chongzhen in the 17 century CE. He was so weak and bumbling that his despaired Imperial Court opened the gates of the Forbidden City Palace to the Manchurian invaders when they arrived at Beijing. They wanted the string of disasters to end quickly and decisively.
Obama, with your string of disasters from the Middle-East to Europe to your own Homeland, the Chinese had already deemed you to be a Man of No Consequence. Your Legacy is crumbling right before your very eyes even before you leave Office.
In the process, Obama, you have given rise to the Biggest and Tightest Slap in the Face of a sitting US President in the Diplomatic History of the World! Just as I have anticipated in my Blog, but with the timing accelerated.
A few parts to follow to unpack this Saga.
