背景：9月3日，奥巴马乘专机抵达杭州萧山机场，美国国家安全顾问苏珊·赖斯因未带证件，被中国安保人员拒绝接近奥巴马专机。此间，赖斯与中方工作人员发生争执，外媒借此事热炒，称“中国故意怠慢美国总统奥巴马”。
外交部发言人华春莹：作为东道国，我们应该尽可能在确保现场采访秩序和安全的情况下，给媒体提供便利和服务，同时到访国他们也应该尊重和服从东道国符合国际惯例的做法和安排。我想这些都是常识惯例，也是起码和基本的礼貌，这些道理大家都应该懂的。美国人经常说自己是世界老大，怎么到这个时候连这点自信都没有了呢。
Hua: As the host, we try to offer the media convenience and services under the condition of the reassurance of an orderly and secure site interview. While as guests, they need to show respect and comply with our arrangements that are abiding by the international practices, which is common sense and basic etiquette known by all. Now the Americans call themselves big brother of the world all the time, but how come they seemed losing confidence this time?
