|
According to chinanews.com.cn, Fang Jing, the 38-year-old anchorwoman who found herself in the centre of "Taiwan spy gate" scandal, is back on CCTV's news channel, hosting the program World Weekly on the evening of June 14, 2009.
TV grab shows Fang Jing is back on CCTV's news channel, hosting the program World Weekly. It has been 100 days since her sudden absence following the "Taiwan spy gate" scandal.
Fang Jing appeared on CCTV's news program World Weekly at 10:15 pm Beijing time on June 14. With a punctuality and wearing a pair of black trousers, Fang looked natural and at ease. The subtitle at the bottom of the screen read "Host: Fang Jing". It seems that the "Taiwan spy scandal" is over.
Fang last appeared on-air on March 1 when she hosted an episode about India's military strength featuring Rear Admiral Zhang Zhaozhong, a military expert from the National Defense University.
Too many curiosities
When asked about why she did not host the program for a few months, Fang said the leaders at CCTV could offer a better and more authentic explanation.
A Yi, full-named Zhou Yijun and an associate professor with Peking University, said in his blog on June 9 that Fang had asked to host the military program, Defense Watch so as to acquire military intelligence and was therefore detained on the evening of May 12.
Fang Jing has denied allegations that she was arrested for spying, saying it's merely groundless hearsay and she might respond by legal means. She posted the message on her blog on June 11. This less than 100 characters message has attracted some one million hits.
According to reports, A Yi offered an official apology to Fang in his blog. "If what I wrote in my blog hurt her, I will say 'sorry' to her because explanation will create more pain to both Fang and her friends. I hope the scandal can be pacified and she will be back on CCTV as soon as possible."
