Chinese Delegation Stirs Controversy at G-20 Summit in New Delhi
The recent G-20 summit held in New Delhi was not without its share of unusual events and controversies. The Chinese delegation, staying at a five-star hotel in the city, found themselves at the center of attention as strange incidents unfolded one after another.
Suspicious Bags and 12-Hour Drama
The bags carried by the Chinese delegates were of unusual dimensions, which immediately raised suspicion among the hotel staff. However, they were instructed to clear them as diplomatic baggage. Despite this, one staff member reported the presence of suspicious equipment inside one of the bags, leading to a 12-hour drama, according to a report by the Times of India. The Chinese delegates were staying at the Taj Palace hotel in New Delhi during the summit.
The hotel authorities wanted to scan the bag to determine its contents, but the Chinese side resisted. The Indian security team stood outside the room where the suspicious object was found, while the Chinese side deliberated on what to do with it. Eventually, after 12 hours, it was decided that the bag would be sent to the embassy, leaving the equipment’s purpose still a mystery.
Demand for Private Network
In addition to the bag incident, the Chinese delegation also demanded a private network and refused to use the hotel’s internet connection. However, the hotel declined their request, further adding to the tensions between the two sides.
China’s Representation and New Delhi Declaration
China’s President Xi Jinping sent Premier Li Qiang as the representative for the G-20 summit. When asked about China’s decision not to send President Xi, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar stated that each country has the right to decide at what level they would be represented. He emphasized that what matters most is the country’s position and contribution to the summit’s deliberations and outcomes. Following the summit, all participants, including China, agreed to the New Delhi Declaration, which was seen as a success for India’s G-20 presidency.
China commented that the declaration sent a positive signal to the world, reflecting the country’s support for the outcomes of the G-20 summit.
