Wow! Interesting story. I can't translate it, but here's part of what Hu Ziwei said about her husband: “As the wife of Mr Zhang Bin, rather than in my normal capacity as a TV announcer, I would like all of you to spare me a minute. Today is a special day for The Olympic Channel, and it’s a special day for Mr Zhang Bin, and for me it’s a special day, too. Because just two hours ago I found out that, besides me, Mr Zhang Bin has been maintaining an improper relationship with another woman.” “Next year is an Olympic year, and all eyes will be watching China. But as a French diplomat once pointed out, if Chinese people don’t have any humane values to present to the world … then what does all the [Olympic] fuss mean?” [quoting French President Nicolas Sarkozy]. Here's a link to her bio: Hu Ziwei Bio ...and more info. about this incident: Hu Ziwei shake up I'm sure someone in China can add more detailed news about this....

Zacmoose, According to the AFP and Yahoo, it seems to have been pretty big... "A video clip of Zhang Bin's wife Hu Ziwei commandeering a microphone at a China Central Television (CCTV) presentation of its coverage plans was easily one of the most viewed items on Chinese video site tudou.com on Monday. Friday's event in Beijing was in order to rebrand CCTV's sports channel as "The Olympic Channel" for the August 2008 Olympic Games hosted by the Chinese capital, but it quickly turned embarrassing for the state broadcaster. "Today is a special day for The Olympic Channel, and a special day for Mr. Zhang Bin, and for me too," said Hu, herself a presenter on another network. "Because just two hours ago, I found out that besides me, Mr. Zhang Bin has been maintaining an improper relationship with another woman." Zhang could only stand by stone-faced as Hu went into details, fending off attempts to remove her from the podium. Gossip about the private lives of television personalities is a hot topic among Chinese, and the incident touched off a flurry of blog entries. China has been keen to project a flawless image for the Olympics, and the embarrassing clip was quickly removed from top internet protal Sina.com. However it could still be viewed Monday on other sites, including overseas videosharing website YouTube."

I was watching a Sichuan tv station that night on the internet, and they showed a fairly lengthy replay of it on the news.

Here is my attempt to translate from the transcript provided by Lujiaojie: “2008 has come, Everyone will have a good year, but Zhang Bin and I will not.” After that, she continued, saying that Zhang Bin was one thing on the surface, and another behind the back. Hu: “However there is a day I can’t act in the role of host for the program, but stand at the side as Mr. Zhang Bin’s wife, delaying everyone a minute of your time.” (she grams the mike) Hu: Today is a special day for the Olympic Video Channel, For Me. Zhang Bin it is a special day. However for me, it is a special day too. Because two hours ago I found out that besides me, Mr. Zhang Bin has had had an improper relationship. Hu: Next year is an Olympic year, the whole world is concerned about China. However, however, a French foreign minister has said: If the Chinese People in their values...(off camera a voice can be heard saying, please don;t continue to film) then what is the meaning of all this? What meaning? (many people come up to pull her) You treat a weak woman in this way? You really will treat a weak woman like this? Hu: (Continuing to struggle) I will only say one more sentence, let us maintain this conduct. But that French foreign minister said: Before China can export values, it can not be a great country. Before us we are faced with this solemn.... a time when Zhang Bin cannot in his heart face himself...Even to the point that he not dare face his wounded wife. I feel... Hu: Today could be the last Sunday. Tomorrow everyone will have a very happy....holiday, Zhang Bin and I cannot. An off camera voice: Why? Hu: It is extremely embarrassing, I too am.....but know.... Zhang: I am sorry everyone.
