Overview
- Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy reported heated, physical run-ins between the Secret Service and Chinese police at event entrances, yet the schedule stayed on track.
- At Beijing’s Temple of Heaven, Chinese officials blocked an agent who carried a firearm, causing about a 30‑minute delay until a different cleared agent escorted reporters, according to the New York Post.
- An aggressive Chinese press pack rushed a morning meeting and knocked down a White House advance aide, who was bruised and shaken, the Post reported.
- Doocy said Trump and Xi held frank talks on Taiwan and Iran, and he reported Xi told Trump that China is not selling weapons to Iran.
