Isn't it rather easy for Ziyi to prove her innocence…..

OMGjust caught this on CNN Ireport - "Chinese Superstar Ziyi Zhan1c84g Suspected Of Embezzling Earthquake Relief Funds." http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-405342 Though this is not vetted by CNN, it's still going to generate a lot of heat. Her boyfriend Vivi is the biggest shareholder of Time Warner which also owns CNN I think. Hope he can do something for her to clear her name. ZZ, come out and clear your name yourself. This is getting out of hand.

Latest update: China's most watched tv channel, CCTV(with the dubious honour of being widely regarded as the mouthpiece of the chinese government) has dedicated two entire news/current affair shows to the reporting of this scandal.
Some very harsh questions have been raised in the show(s). e.g. why the amount of money Ziyi claims to have raised through her fundraisers still remain a mystery to date? (the reported amount ranges from an honourable 7 million USD to a measly 50,000 USD, depending on which version of the report you are reading). CCTV is in effect calling for more accountability and transparency on the part of Ziyi Zhang.
This certainly doesn't bode well for Ziyi. CCTV always toe the government's line and this may forebode the impending action chinese authority's gonna to take against Ziyi. -

The video clip that shows Ziyi openly admitting at a press conference that she has successfully raised 1 million USD in charity money.

Curiously though, according to a series of interviews with Lucas Ling, Ziyi's long time agent after the star is engulfed in the scandal, only half a million USD has been raised(of which only 50,000 USD has actually been collected)by Ziyi.
