00:00A reminder before watching the video
00:01There's more content on trending websites.
00:04The international editions have been focusing on the United States these past few days.
00:08Because Chinese President Xi Jinping, after 11 years
00:12Once again as a national leader
00:14Visiting the United States for a state visit
00:16Some media outlets described
00:18This time, the United States is preparing to welcome Xi Jinping.
00:20It can be said that a grand welcoming ceremony of imperial scale was held.
00:26However, there is a group of people online now
00:28The topic under heated discussion
00:30Not US President Trump
00:32How to give Xi Jinping a grand reception
00:34Instead, they were discussing a...
00:36The US military was in a chaotic state at the airport reception site.
00:39A video of tidying up the red carpet
00:41Let's take a look at this part.
01:08That's what you can see in this video circulating online.
01:12Members of the Chinese delegation at that time
01:14Including Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and others
01:16Just getting ready to get off the plane
01:18Unexpectedly, the camera panned down.
01:20Several US military personnel were photographed.
01:23Kneeling on a 30-meter-long red carpet
01:26Wipe and clean repeatedly
01:28And this scene unfolded under the spotlight of international media and the world.

01:33This short 12-second video quickly went viral online.
01:39What happened after this video was released?
01:41This drew sarcastic remarks from some American netizens.
01:44Some people bluntly said
01:45That would be incredibly embarrassing.
01:47This severely damaged the image of the U.S. military as a brave and professional force.
01:52Some netizens were quite sour.
01:54This is probably the most embarrassing scene I've ever seen in my life.
01:57However, some people interpret it from the perspective of diplomatic maneuvering.
02:01The idea that Xi Jinping could receive such extreme treatment from the US military is misleading.
02:04This level of treatment involves kneeling on the red carpet.
02:08How does this compare to the welcoming treatment given to leaders of other countries?
02:12This precisely reflects what Trump values most in international diplomatic settings.
02:16Who is more important?
02:17But then again
02:18The imperial-level reception the US gave to Xi Jinping this time
02:22This indeed broke with decades of diplomatic precedent.
02:25Because of US President Trump and First Lady Melania
02:28This time, they didn't greet him at the White House as usual.
02:31Instead, they arrived at the air force base an hour early to await Xi Jinping's arrival.
02:36I personally picked him up from the airport.
02:38It's worth noting that the last time a foreign leader was personally greeted by the US president was...

02:48Although the arrangement for the US president to personally greet foreign leaders at the airport
02:54More than sixty years have passed
02:55But this time, Trump also followed his preferred style of flashy diplomacy.

03:00Go all out with the welcoming party!
03:03The White House deployed not only a guard of honor consisting of nearly 500 U.S. troops, but also...
03:07Holding the flags of both countries
03:08The highest-level 21-gun salute was also fired at the scene.
03:12Six F-16 and F-22 fighter jets were lined up in a row on the runway.

03:18The on-site investigation also included sending B-1 supersonic bombers overhead.
03:24Roaring past
03:25The meeting between the two leaders was kicked off by a display of military strength.
03:30After the welcoming ceremony officially concluded
03:32Xi Jinping and his wife left in a black car
03:36This vehicle is a large, bulletproof Hongqi limousine without license plates.
03:41It is the N701 series special car used by Xi Jinping when he visits overseas.
