"She was only given a single-entry visa . . . because she had never visited China before."
So Obama now has quite a bit of egg on his face and, along with Kerry, looks like a trusting fool when it comes to dealing with China. This has implications beyond the comparatively minor issue of visas.
I am surprised the Chinese didn't wait a bit and then backtrack quietly when nobody's watching; at this early point there's sure to be some awkward publicity when people test the ten-year visa and find it's not there for many.
The practical message, of course, is take your old passport with those entry/exit stamps along when you apply.
