BEIJING/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A controversy over a child's remark on an American television talk show that jokingly advocated killing Chinese people to avoid paying down U.S. debt to that country continued to simmer three weeks after the event, as China on Monday sharply criticized the show's host.
 
Chinese-American groups staged a protest demonstration on Saturday outside the California headquarters of ABC, the broadcaster of the show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
 
The controversy blew up after a segment of the show that aired on October 16. Host Jimmy Kimmel, who often uses children on his show for comedic effect on adult issues, asked a group of four children during a non-scripted segment how the United States should pay back the $1.3 trillion it owes to China, the world's second-largest economy. A 6-year-old replied, "Kill everyone in China."
 
Kimmel replied: "That's an interesting idea."
 
Kimmel's show is pre-taped.
 

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said ABC must respond to the Chinese-American community's protests.

They have no comprehension of freedom of thought, let alone speech. Were I Jimmy Kimmel I would have edited that part out, but he was certainly within his rights to leave it in. O should just tell the Chinese, it was a kid, it was not scripted, and we do not control what people say, so they should just get a life. JMO

Heck, that's a regular part of their indoctrination programing. They have something like a music video I saw floating around on the net not long ago that shows nuclear warheads raining down on the cities of the US.
