During President Hu Jintao's visit to Boeing's plant near Seattle on Wednesday, he gave manufacturing supervisor Paul Dernier an unexpected hug after the latter presented him a Boeing baseball cap. The president promptly donned it, grinning, and threw his arms over Dernier's shoulder as the assembled media snapped pictures. "A lot of people I talked to said they've never seen him hug anyone," said Dernier, who has supervised the planes bound for China. "So I was totally caught off guard." Dernier said the president thanked him in English. "It was my first presidential hug. I feel pretty special." (China Daily April 21, 2006)
