发帖数: 107 | 1 The group attacking late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for a sketch that
supposedly offended Chinese people has close ties to the Chinese Communist
government.
The Roundtable of Chinese American Organizations, a tiny Rosemead,
California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit with $64,987 in reported income and $10
,907 in assets as of year-end 2011, organized nationwide protests to demand
Kimmel’s firing after he hosted a comedic “Kids’ Table” segment October
16 in which a child suggested that America should “kill everyone in China”
to help ameliorate our federal debt.
Though ABC and Kimmel both apologized, groups mobilized by the Roundtable
refuse to accept Kimmel’s apology. Approximately 1,500 protesters rallied
outside ABC Studios in Burbank, Phoenix, and Houston this weekend.
Protesters last month rallied outside ABC Studios in New York City with
signs likening Kimmel to Adolf Hitler and accusing Kimmel of “manipulating
children” and promoting “genocide.”
A petition on the White House’s “We the People” website calling for an “
investigation” of Kimmel’s show has gained more than 100,000 signatures,
crossing the threshold at which the White House has promised to respond.
Despite its tiny size, the Roundtable is reportedly comprised of 72 Chinese
organizations across the country, and its close links to the Communist
government span decades. Though Charles Lu, who stated earlier this year
that “Friendship is very important” between the U.S. and Chinese
governments, is now identified in press coverage of the Kimmel crusade as
chairman of the Roundtable, the group’s website still identifies its
original president and CEO Sue Zhang as chairwoman.
Zhang, daughter of the legendary Nationalist general-turned Communist leader
Zhang Zhizhong, was the head of the welcome committee that hosted a 500-
head banquet for current Chinese paramount leader and General Secretary of
the Communist Party of China Xi Jinping when he visited the United States in
February 2012. The banquet was held at the J.W. Marriott hotel in downtown
Los Angeles.
At the time, Xi was vice president of China. Zhang, then president of the
Roundtable, and Xi discussed their shared seaside family vacations when
Zhang was younger, with the Communist leader remembering Zhang as a “
beautiful and fashionable” young woman.
Zhang also led a group, possibly the Roundtable, that warmly greeted Xi in
Mandarin at the airport when Xi arrived at LA/Ontario International Airport
for a June 2013 summit with President Obama in his new capacity as Chinese
paramount leader. Tibetan independence activists stood nearby and protested
the visit.
Zhang, then still identified as “head” of the Roundtable, expressed
disappointment and anger at First Lady Michelle Obama’s decision not to
participate in the June 2013 summit.
“She lost a very good chance to meet the First Lady of China. This is not
good for her. It’s not very friendly towards China,” Zhang said.
