Whole city was given paid holiday, free tickets to other cities, and equivalent of 80 dollars for spending. Anyone who didn't participate in G20 was taking a break, beach, great wall, museums, doing nothing, bbq, etc.
What you think about this?
I remember G20 in Miami, life went on with some traffic problems in downtown.
P.S. The joke with Obama was nice, Chinese didn't roll for him red carpet escalator - to be fair all their escalators have purplish carpet - so Obama exited through back door. Then journalists were not allowed to secured location in the airport. Western press comments were something to the point that China is a communist country, but to be fair even in USA journalists will not be allowed to secure locations at the airports.
When you are a guest, and people give you purple carpet, you use that carpet and say thank you.
