That’s because the vain U.S. President Trump enjoys this kind of spectacle. And in order to extend a reciprocal welcome to Putin, who is visiting China at the same time, China had no choice but to repeat the same spectacle.
Just look at British Prime Minister Starmer, German Chancellor Merz, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un, Canadian Prime Minister Carney, and others who have visited China this year—none of them asked for children to greet them at the airport.
Before the official visit to China, Trump repeatedly expressed his expectations for a 'warm welcome' and a grand scene.
Before Air Force One arrived, the United States sent 7 C-17 transport planes, transporting over 500 tons of materials. More than 800 people accompanied the visit. As a reciprocal response, China's arrangements were appropriate.
But how did the American personnel behave?
Supporters of Fox News were conducting interviews on crowded roads, seriously affecting traffic order and creating safety hazards.When he received a ticket from the traffic management department, he began to smear China's management methods. Ironically, Fox News uses 'law and order' as its signature slogan.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Becerra was stopped by Chinese security personnel for not wearing a pass. After the American accompanying personnel handed over the pass, Becerra was allowed to enter the venue.
U.S. Secret Service agents intended to bring guns into the venue but were stopped by Chinese security personnel. A standoff ensued between both sides.
Law and order are also core American values. However, I have not seen these American visitors adhere to the order and safety regulations established after discussion between both parties.
Now, this American says that China's welcoming team is the same group of people. Of course, it is the same group of people—they are the children living nearby. No one would travel thousands of kilometers to welcome a foreign head of state who is trying to divide China. Unless he is French President Macron, who firmly supports the One-China policy and is very enthusiastic.
