China's top-ranking UN diplomat embarked on a drunken rant against Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, telling his boss that he had "never liked" him, and adding for good measure that he did not like Americans either. The outburst by Sha Zukang at a retreat for UN officials in the Austrian ski resort of Alpbach left senior officials cringing in embarrassment as others tried to convince him to put down the microphone.

"I know you never liked me, Mr. Secretary General -- well, I never liked you, either," said Sha as Ban looked on, smiling and nodding awkwardly during the 15-minute toast.
