The Chinese media were not exactly transparent about the visit of President Obama to China. But one aspect made waves in the media: Obama stepping down from his plane.
Why? The press saw someone descending the stairs holding an umbrella. They waited for the “President” to follow. Then they realized the supposed “staff” was the President himself.

The media – like here China Daily – focused on the fact a Chinese leader would never do something like that. Those big shots are always surrounded by hordes of aides to make sure the great leader is well taken care of.
Irony in China Daily. Not every day.
