Emily Goodin, a White House correspondent for the New York Post, stated on X (formerly Twitter) on the 15th (local time) that "U.S. staff collected everything distributed by the Chinese side, including access badges, temporary phones, and delegation badges, and threw them into a trash bin at the bottom of the stairs before boarding Air Force One."

She added, "Nothing from China is allowed on board the plane." This is interpreted as a security measure to prevent hacking or wiretapping by the Chinese side.

Previously, the New York Post reported in a separate article that U.S. President Donald Trump was also advised to refrain from using his personal mobile phone during his visit to China to avoid the risk of hacking.

White House staff also used disposable phones and temporary email addresses during their visit to China. The New York Post reported that their personal devices were kept in "Faraday" bags, which block all signals including GPS and Wi-Fi, and were stored inside Air Force One.
