On a broaderlevel, as the President has stated publicly, the United States welcomes thecontinuing peaceful rise of China. The comments you are writing about do notreflect mainstream views of China in the United States.
The Federalgovernment cannot force ABC to remove this show. The First Amendment of theConstitution protects free speech, even if individuals might personally find itoffensive or distasteful. It may be upsetting when people say things wemight personally disagree with, but the principle of protected free speechis an important part of who we are as a nation.
If you thinkthis issue merits additional scrutiny, you may file a complaint with theFederal Communications Commission by visiting [url=http://links.whitehouse.gov/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTQwMTExLjI3MzczNTcxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE0MDExMS4yNzM3MzU3MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MDAwNDQxJmVtYWlsaWQ9dGFuc21haWxAZ21haWwuY29tJnVzZXJpZD10YW5zbWFpbEBnbWFpbC5jb20mZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&101&&&http://www.fcc.gov/complaints]FCC.gov/Complaints[/url].
