Hilarious video emerged today of a Chinese Communist official trashing an airport boarding gate in a rage after missing his flight.

Yan Linkun and his wife were caught on CCTV trying to board at Changshui International Airport when they are reportedly told the plane had already left.

Mr Yan initially reacts by pushing violently at the doors, but as his temper boils over he starts ripping out computers on the steward's desk and throwing them to the ground.
