BBC NEWS | Americas | US protocol crumbles on Hu visit

A nice article about President Jintao's visit to the USA where he landed in Washington State not DC. The president then visited Boeing and then proceded to DC.

Then things got interesting:

The national anthem of Taiwan was played instead of China's!
A Falun Gong follower started shouting when Jintao started his speech (wonder who speaks for the oppressed in the west of China).
And to seal the embarassment with insult, Bush sawy it was fit to tug on Jintao's suit sleeve to bring him to a spot apparently either designated for photo opportunities or one that Bush felt was good for a photo.
I must say I could not believe there was no Kung-Fu can of worms openned. I could up to that moment Chinese pride at the very least firmly taking Bushes hand and Ju/Jin Jtsu it away from the fine wool sleeve. I don't think, nevertheless, that this will just end here. I'll wait and see.
