中國大國崛起，和美國於世界各處角力較勁，暗潮洶湧早不是新聞。本屆G20於中國杭州舉行，中國趁主場優勢，給美國總統歐巴馬當眾下馬威。
I wouldn't overcrank the significance of it. Part of it is we also have a much bigger footprint than a lot of other countries. We’ve got a lot of planes and helicopters and a lot of cars and a lot of guys and, you know, if you're a host country, sometimes it may feel a little bit much. We don’t make an apology for pushing a little bit harder when it comes to press access. We don't leave our values and ideals behind when we take these trips. It can cause some friction.
我不會過度解讀這件事的重要性。一方面也是我們占用的面積比其他國家大得多，我們有很多飛機、直升機，還有一堆車子、人員。你想想，如果你是地主國，有時候確實會吃不消。我們不會為了在媒體訪問上稍微強硬的立場道歉，我們不會因為出國旅行，就把原有的價值觀和理想拋在身後。這點可能會造成某些摩擦。
