Officials in China are coming down hard on a popular former China Central Television (CCTV) host. Earlier this year a television host from CCTV was filmed at a private event mocking former Chairman Mao Zedong with the video of it later made publicly available online. The response form Chinese officials was instant though now over four months later, harsher punishment for the presenter is being called for. Chairman Mao is a divisive figure in China and though some of his policies have been officially critiqued, he is still viewed favorably by the majority of the population.
