How do you know that the President of China is in town?

The following video shows President Hu Jintao's motorcade during his visit to Seattle. Count the number of vehicles in his entourage.


In the next video, try counting the number of bodyguards surrounding President Hu Jintao after his press conference in Hong Kong.


Here, President Hu Jintao is being escorted by the Royal Guards in Stockholm, Sweden.


Unbelievably, President Hu Jintao had even more vehicles in his retinue when he visited Lahore, Pakistan than he did in Seattle.


By the way, a few years ago, I was driving into Boston on Mass. Pike when Premier Wen's motorcade passed on its way to a suburban farm (e.g. in Milford or Worcester(?); memory is foggy). I was amazed to see that the motorcade extended for about a mile. Out of curiosity, I checked the nightly news to see who was the "big cheese" (i.e. important person).
