《纽约时报》10日的文章说：周一，事情变得很奇怪。本来外国记者被邀请为习近平会见丹麦首相拍照。但周一，中共外交部宣称，从未安排习近平和丹麦首相施密特的会见，是其他领导人会见丹麦首相。外交部发言人洪磊说：“我们已经告诉每个人所有的事情了。”（On Monday, the situation got odder. Foreign journalists had been invited to a photo opportunity between Mr. Xi and Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt of Denmark. On Monday, however, the Foreign Ministry denied that any such meeting had been scheduled and said other Chinese officials would meet the Danish leader.“We have told everybody everything,” said a Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hong Lei.）
