习近平已经前往美国进行首次国事访问。习近平的出访团规模有多大?哪些人将会出现在习近平的专机上?以下将为您解答。

Q1. How many people will be on the presidential plane?

多少人将乘坐习主席的专机?

A1. No more than 100.

不到100人。

Lu Peixin, former acting director of the Protocol Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told reporter that based on his experience of previous visits the plane carries about 40 to 50 people.

外交部原礼宾司代司长鲁培新向媒体透露，根据他以往的出访经验，主席专机一般能坐四五十人。

When President Xi visited Russia for the first time in 2013, Xinhua News Agency reported that fewer people from Beijing accompanied Xi than before, which means Xi may reduce his team further.

2013年习近平首次访问俄罗斯时，据新华社报道，从北京同机出发的陪同人员较前减少。这或许也意味着陪同出访的人数更为精简。

Q2. What is the special plane like?

专机长什么样?

A2. There is no "special plane" for Chinese leaders. The planes are provided by Air China.
