Obama Bows in Shanghai (China)?

Did Obama bow in Shanghai (China) at the end of the town hall meeting? It is close, but it looks as if he did. It was not as deep as in the Emperor of Japan (Video) or Saudi Arabian King but deeper then with Putin. This is a bit tougher of a call then the others because Obama appears to be reciprocating, not initiating. That said, this is not proper protocol and the American president should not be bowing to anyone.

Video embedded below.



You can head over to the White House website to see the video with sound at http://www.whitehouse.gov/photos-and-video/video/china-town-hall (jump to 75:30)
