#Watch: Chinese President Xi left confused after his aide stopped from entering BRICS venue

In a shocking development, moments before the BRICS plenary session began in Johannesburg on Wednesday (August 23), the Chinese President Xi Jinping’s guards were forcibly stopped on Wednesday by the South African Protocol Team during the 15th BRICS venue.

 

 

A video of the incident went viral on social media ensuing amusing responses. As Xi walked inside the main venue, his guards ran behind. However, the South African Protocol Team stopped them from entering the venue. What followed was utter chaos as Xi was repeatedly looking behind to understand what had unfolded.

 

 

In a video going viral on social media, it is shown that as Xi Jinping was walking towards the main venue, a man, believed to be a Chinese security official, began sprinting to catch up to the president. As he appeared near Xi, South African security officials blocked him from further entering as his movements raised suspicion.

 

This is the second time that something unusual has transpired surrounding Xi Jinping ever since he set foot in the South African capital to attend the 15th BRICS Summit. On Tuesday, China’s leader, Xi Jinping, unexpectedly skipped a scheduled speech at a key multilateral business forum in South Africa.The meeting was attended by Chinese Commerce Minister Whang Wentao.

 

It was unknown why he had to skip the meeting, but he was later seen attending a dinner hosted by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, along with the leaders of Brazil and India, and Russia’s foreign minister.
