Security Incident Involving Xi Jinping’s Aide During Escort “Security Incident Unfolds During BRICS 2023 Summit in South Africa”
During the ongoing BRICS 2023 summit in Johannesburg, South African security officers have come under scrutiny for their actions toward a member of the Chinese leader’s delegation. Here’s the adjusted article:
Amidst the BRICS 2023 summit in Johannesburg, a video capturing an incident involving a member of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s delegation has gained widespread attention. The footage shows a moment where it appears the delegate was prevented from accompanying President Xi as South African security officers closed a door in his path.
In the video, President Xi can be seen approaching the main summit venue at the Sandton Convention Centre, with what appears to be a Chinese official trailing behind, trying to catch up. However, as President Xi passed through the doors, the South African protocol team began shutting them abruptly and pushed the aide away, effectively blocking him from entering the venue or walking alongside the president.
The commotion appeared to catch the attention of President Xi, who turned around several times as he walked down the red carpet, seemingly attempting to understand the unfolding situation behind him. Notably, Chinese authorities have not yet issued any statements regarding this incident.
The BRICS summit, running from August 22 to 24 in Johannesburg, has seen participation from over 40 foreign leaders, including the presidents of the group’s founding nations: Brazil, India, China, South Africa, and Russia. Russia’s representation includes Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, with President Putin participating remotely via videolink.
