Bill Clinton made many visits to China during his presidency. How many trips did he make without his wife and on how many of these trips did he suddenly become ill and lock himself in his hotel room for 24 hours and cancel all official state visits?

I'm not kidding. I really remember several times during Clinton's presidency on the news that he was canceling all official state functions during a visit to China, sans wife.
Also remember that Papa Bush went to a Japanese state fuction so ill that he vomited on people rather than cancel out and insult the Japanese. I'm sure that the Japanese were impressed by this gesture. Clinton would claim to be sick, disappear for 24 hours and pop up the next day looking fine. (Then come back to America and allow the Chinese to recieve restricted computer chips by sending them through Department of Agriculture instead of Departmet of Commerce.)
