Internet Goes Mad As Putin Offers China’s First Lady A Blankie [Photo + Video]
12 Nov 2014 by Jasmine Stone in Menerbes, Politics, Video, World
Either Russia was trying to show the world that chivalry is not dead, or Putin had another idea up his sleeve.
At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, the Russian president draped a shawl over Chinese First Lady Peng Liyuan.
Naturally, China almost went into a national state of emergency over this, with Chinese media sites censoring the clearly graphic, XXX-rated footage.
Have you watched the clip?
It’s hardly anything, really. I would expect someone to drape my shoulders with a shawl if there was a nip in the air. Not in China, buddy.
So what if Putin is actually trying to win some favour?
Ahead of the APEC summit, much ink was devoted the extant challenges of an American strategic courtship of China. Russia’s ambassador to the United States threw down the gauntlet last week, tweeting “You are pivoting to Asia, but we’re already there.”
Ooh, but I love international games…
