《紐約時報》10日的文章說：周一，事情變得很奇怪。本來外國記者被邀請為習近平會見丹麥首相拍照。但周一，中共外交部宣稱，從未安排習近平和丹麥首相施密特的會見，是其他領導人會見丹麥首相。外交部發言人洪磊說：「我們已經告訴每個人所有的事情了。」（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.）
