Also, coming off the first US plane to land at the then-new Shanghai Pudong airport (PVG). Lots of military types with whatever machine gun the PLA uses around passport control. The stare! First me, then the passport, then me, then the passport, then me... repeat 5-6 times for at least five minutes, then a lot of yelling in Mandarin at the others while I have had no sleep for 24+ and have no idea what's going on. They did eventually let me in.
