Brawls Erupt Between US, Chinese Camera Crews at Trump-Xi Summit in Beijing

A PBS News camera went down as an unidentified voice shouted at crew members and the leaders entered the room for talks.

  • On Thursday, a summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing descended into chaos when a scuffle broke out on live video. An unidentified voice yelled "get the f--k out" as a camera crashed to the floor.
  • Earlier, Trump received a full red-carpet welcome in the Chinese capital, complete with ceremonial pageantry and children waving flags. The mid-summit confrontation sharply contrasted with the carefully stage-managed optics intended to showcase relationship stability.
  • During the public portion of their meeting, Trump told Xi he invited the "top 30" business leaders to the trip. He promised that engagement between the two nations would be "totally reciprocal on our behalf."
  • Despite the earlier scuffle, Xi stated that relations between the two countries remained "generally stable." Both leaders departed the Great Hall with positive sentiments following their in-depth exchanges on international dynamics.
  • Underlying tensions simmered ahead of the summit, stemming from the Iran war, Chinese maneuvering around Taiwan, and years of economic conflict. These challenges persist despite current efforts to reset ties between the world's two largest economies.
