When President Obama arrived in China for the G20 summit, the Chinese "forgot" to send stairs or even the usual red carpet. Then they separated him from members of his security staff.
If you have even a basic understanding of Asian culture, you know this was a deliberate gesture to cause "loss of face" for our president.
Just one more example how President Obama - the Apologist-in-Chief - has cause a loss of respect and status of the United States around the world.
At least under George W. Bush, while the world may not have liked us, at least we had its respect. After eight years of Mr. Obama, we have neither.
This was even worse than I thought. The President had to cancel a meeting with the Philippine president after President Duterte called Mr Obama an S.O.B. Glad Mr Obama had enough self-respect to refuse to meet with Duterte. If he really had a pair, he would have cancelled his G20 trip and immediately flown to Taipei. That would have really chaffed China's arse!
ReplyDeleteGiven that he doesn't have a pair, he did exactly what was expected of him. Odd, though, that Dutarte beat him to an apology...
