Doubt it. Traffic wasn't touched on his arrival at HKG...he landed amidst commercial traffic and a normal arrival sequence. No short cut even. I was at the airport and flipped open Flightradar....pretty amazing how professional they handled it with almost no impact to travelers.

China has screwy stuff, but their leaders flying around aren't a tenth the hassle of AF1....when the whole tarmac can shut down for 30-60 minutes. I've had the displeasure of facing that twice. It sucks.
