Obama arrived at the Hangzhou international airport on Saturday afternoon as his final face-to-face meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The Global Times, a Communist party controlled tabloid in an editorial pointed out its views on the airport saga. "Western media has hyped up the incident, but Obama tried to play it down," the Guardian quoted the Global Times as saying. "Classy as always China," DIA tweeted, linking to a New York Times article about the incident.
