Funniest news today.
You already know News about Rome Pope Francis visited the U.S last month. Pope Francis captured all attention not only from people in the U.S but also people from all over the world.
But here in Japan, it was a little different story. Some of Japanese media were paying attention to Chinese president Xi Jinping visiting the U.S. at the same time Pope Francis did.
According to Japanese news, diplomatic sources revealed that Chinese government had been asking the U.S officials again and again to change the visiting date of Pope Francis. But the U.S officials kept denying their requests and made it on the same date September 22nd.
President Xi Jinping was planning to get all attention from the media when visiting the U.S, since China has finished Anti-Japanese War Victory day held in China a little while ago. But his scheming was all screwed up by president Obama’s plot. Hahaha.
All media were reporting Pope Francis’s every movement while president Xi was totally ignored. Hahaha.
What made us laugh hard were the arrivals of both president Xi and Pope Francis.
Pope Francis arrived at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland which was a suburb of Washington D.C and was welcomed by president Obama and his wife while president Xi arrived at the airport which was owned by Boeing in Seattle and was welcomed by the employees of Boeing. Hahahaha. What are these differences? Hahaha.
Pope Francis was getting so much attention that president Xi needed to change his schedule of his arrival date in Washington D.C according to the sources.
When president Xi arrived at the airport in Washington D.C in the afternoon of September 24th, He was welcomed by vice president Joe Biden. Hahaha.
You see, president Xi and his wife were visiting the U.S as state guests. So president Xi and his wife were expecting to be welcomed by president Obama and his wife at the airport but were actually welcomed by only vice president. Hahaha. You can imagine Xi's disappointment when he looked at the people from the door of the plane.
According to the sources, the atmosphere at the sight was far different from the one when Pope Francis climbed down the deck two days ago. There was no enthusiasm witnessed for President Xi at the sight. Although vice president Biden made a smile for Xi, Xi didn’t show his smile.
On 25th of September, welcome ceremony was held for president Xi at White House, but this attention was robbed again by the news about US Speaker Boehner's resignation. Hahaha. Why did it have to be this timing? Resignation could be announced any time, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. But strangely news were coming in at the best timing to steal the attention from president Xi. Hahahaha.
Is this called a coincidence? With a perfect timing and accuracy in a sequential manner? Hahaha. Well, that’s what is called "intentional" in Japanese language. Hahahaha.
President Xi was invited for White House State Dinner by president Obama on the same day, but that was "coincidentally" the time when Pope Francis was holding a mass at Madison Square Garden with thousands of people. So again, all attention went to Pope Francis. Hahahahaha.
Prior to the dinner, there was a summit meeting between president Obama and Xi, but they couldn't agree with anything. So at the dinner table, Xi never smiled. As soon as exchanging "Cheers!", Xi sat down immediately and left Obama holding a glass. It was an awkward moment for president Obama, that he looked very unpleasant. President Obama had no choice thus slowly sat down and urged Xi to make a speech.
Chinese media never reported the details about the dinner. Of course they couldn't.
Pope Francis made speeches at Federal Congress on September 24th and U.N on 25th, while president Xi could make a speech only at U.N on 26th.

According to web news “Searchina”, Hong Kong media reported on September 28th that Chinese media were fabricating the reputation about the speech president Xi Jinping made at U.N on September 26th. Hong Kong media said “Chinese media reported president Xi’s speech was applauded with many standing ovations, which were the biggest among other participants, but it actually wasn’t like that. About two third of seats were empty when president Xi made his speech.” “Comparing Pope Francis’s speech, in which all seats were occupied, with president Xi’s speech, it really made Chinese government embarrassed.”

It is said that president Xi failed to capture the hearts of American people this time at all but just ended up spending 46 billion dollars to purchase 300 airplanes at Boeing in a desperate attempt to get attention from the U.S media but failed that again.
