Patton is rolling in his grave.

Pretty sickening.
There is no need to put up another nation's flag even in welcoming a foreign diplomat. I wonder if foreign nations do the same thing when the President goes overseas.

The thing is, in the US, ALL other flags are supposed to be displayed lower than the American flag. If displayed properly, I don't have a problem with it, but the Chinese flag in that pic is clearly above the two US flags......disgraceful.

True. I did not notice that.
Reminds me of this:

In most if not all western countries they/we do. I don't know about 3rd world countries...

Agreed, but to me at least, that pic looks fake.

all three flag poles seem to be at the same level so it's probably just the angle of the shot or the wind that is making one look higher.

Actually it is not. It simply appears so as an optical illusion because it is in the forefront by virtue of the angle from which the picture was taken.

EXACTLY!

U.S., China in New Nuke Security Deal
Published January 19, 2011

Jan. 18: The Capitol dome is seen at rear as Chinese and U.S. flags are displayed in Washington ahead of the arrival of China's President Hu Jintao for a state visit hosted by President Obama.
WASHINGTON -- President Obama plans to announce a deal to step up cooperation with China on nuclear security, senior administration officials confirmed to Fox News on Wednesday.
The agreement to be signed by U.S. and Chinese energy officials during the visit of Chinese President Hu Jintao would establish a jointly financed nuclear security center in China. The senior administration officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record before Obama's announcement, said the agreement is an opening to expand security cooperation with China.
At the same time, Boeing will announce completed contracts on the sale of about 200 jets to China as part of Hu's visit -- a deal that will support 100,000 jobs nationally, an airline industry source said.
The orders have been previously discussed publicly and production is already underway on some planes because of preliminary contracts. Hu and Obama will announce that the contracts have been "finalized," said the source, who didn't provide the price tag but said it will be in the billions.
The deals preceded a welcoming ceremony at the White House for Hu, who beings a series of daylong meetings with top U.S. officials on currency, trade, security and human rights concerns.
Obama welcomed Chinese President Hu Jintao to the White House Wednesday morning with full honors, a red carpet and a color guard.
In his remarks at the South Lawn arrival ceremony, Obama said each country had an enormous stake in the other's future, and he then referenced human rights.
"We also know this: history shows that societies are more harmonious, nations are more successful and the world is more just when the rights and responsibilities of all nations and all peoples are upheld -- including the universal rights of every human being," Obama said.
For his part, Hu said the relationship between the two powers should be based on "mutual respect," with each country respecting the other's core interests and choices of development paths -- suggesting limits to how far the U.S. can push China on issues from currency to human rights.
Obama and Biden were meeting with Hu in the Oval Office before expanding the meeting to include their respective staffs. The president also will host a session with Hu, Chinese business leaders and 14 leading American chief executives.
Later in the afternoon, the two leaders will hold a brief news conference -- an uncommon practice for Hu -- limited to four questions. Hu will then be honored at a State Department luncheon. Capping the day will be a glitzy state dinner.
But the nuclear security agreement is a key centerpiece of the visit as the Obama administration looks for ways to ease tensions between the two world powers and demonstrate cooperation in an area that has primarily been saved for U.S.-Russia relations.
The U.S. considers China a vital player in attempts to contain North Korean aggression against South Korea and its development of a nuclear weapon. The U.S. also needs Chinese support to rein in Iran's nuclear ambitions, as China is a U.N. Security Council member.
The venture would be aimed at training to improve security at nuclear facilities and accounting of nuclear materials. U.S. officials also hope to hold joint exercises on response to nuclear disasters and terrorism and to share nuclear detection technology.
U.S. officials also say the two countries plan to open up the center to other countries in Asia, hoping that China can use its influence to improve nuclear security in the region.
Under the agreement to be signed by U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu and China Atomic Energy Authority Chairman Chen Quifa, China would pay for most of the center's budget, but the United States will provide technology and expertise.
The idea for the center was first proposed by Hu at Obama's nuclear security summit in April.
