Xi Jinping's translator slammed against wall by Brics security guards

Xi Jinping looked on as his translator was slammed against a wall by security guards at the Brics summit in Johannesburg in South Africa.

The Chinese president looked over his shoulder while his security guard was targeted by security after running towards Mr Xi.

The Brics - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - are a grouping of fast-growing economies.

The way he looks behind him and he's like "Oh, yeah this is going about the way I thought it would" 😂

[Meh-qerw]

Lesson is, never be late as a translator

[hyperxplays]

Bro even Xi jinping had no idea when he looked behind him because the doors were closed at the best possible time lol. I can't believe what I'm watching 😅

It is the host country's fault. SA the host country should gather detail of their guests and know who should be in the meeting. It is a bad reflection of SA government. Security workers just not paying attention to details. I bet that kind of incident would not happen before the ANC days. Just look how ANC turned a good country into a pile of trash.

0:25 Lmao the way he stands there for a sec though

I mean you see the translator running towards Xi who passed through the door so the security guards got suspicious and slammed him agaisnt the wall/door and prevented him from passing through the door while Xi looked behind him after the door was closed lol.

Can't the translator shout something like :"President Xi! I am here!" in Chinese, to get his attention and stop the guards from chasing him out?

[jiabocheng]

Can someone tell me why this happened?

[SeachGateINDIA]

he wasn't slammed. just that the president enters the audience alone

Xi Jinping a inteles ce se intampla cu traducatorul Lui dar a inteles si cat de mare e responsabilitatea PAZEI Sud Africane la un asemenea Eveniment EXTRAORDINAR .deci respect Vlgilentei Serviciilor Sud Africane restul e Irelevant, putea sa se strecoare ori si cand un Nazi-Sionist, precum in cazul JFK
