HANGZHOU, China Sept 3 (Reuters) - A Chinese official confronted U.S. President Barack Obama’s national security adviser on the tarmac on Saturday prompting the Secret Service to intervene, an unusual altercation as China implements strict controls ahead of a big summit. The same official shouted at a White House press aide who was instructing foreign reporters on where to stand as they recorded Obama disembarking from the plane. China has taken extensive security measures in preparation for the G20 summit opening on Sunday. The Chinese government has broad control over domestic media and prevents many foreign media outlets from publishing in the country, including by blocking their websites. Rice met Chinese dissidents before her last trip to China in late July, when she held talks with President Xi Jinping and other senior officials.
