Extraordinary footage. I believe it's literally the first time we see Xi publicly scold a foreign leader (or anyone, as far as I know). https://t.co/jlOEJFxuMo— Arnaud Bertrand (@RnaudBertrand) November 16, 2022

Xi: "You leaked what we discussed to the newspapers, that is unbecoming behavior. Never mind the fact that our discussion weren't in those tones to start with......If you have sincerity than we can communicate on very good terms under a premise of mutual respect. If not, then who knows what will be the result..

Trudeao (with the horrible bodylanguage btw) tries to say some bullshit about "ohhh in Canada we are freedum press and open. Lets continue to have consturctive talks but we will disagree on stuff! "

Xi: Lets create the correct conditions first...make the correct conditions.

      0:03: Cameraman sees Xi approaching Trudeau in the distance to say something as all leaders were walking the room at the end of the conference before departing.

      0:09: Realizing this could be important, cameraman makes a mad dash to get to them as fast as possible. Misses about the first 12 seconds of the conversation before he manages to get to them

      Translation of the most relevant elements:

      0:21: Xi to Trudeau: “Regarding everything we discussed, it was leaked to the media, that’s not appropriate (Note, in Mandarin Xi actually said “That’s not Ok” ’不行‘). And furthermore that’s not the way the conversation went. If you are sincere, we should communicate with each other in a respectful manner, otherwise it will be hard to say what the result will be like...“

      0:45: Trudeau to Xi (interrupting the interpreter when the interpreter said “If there was sincerity on your part...): In Canada we believe in free and open and Frank dialogue, and which we will continue to have. And we will continue to love to work constructively together, but there will be things we will continue to disagree on, and we will have to [indiscernable].“

      0:57: Xi to Trudeau: “We have to create the right conditions first, alright then?“ （好啊?)
