having lived in china for nearly 20 years, rowswell is a household name for his chinese cross-talk and comedy.
according to the new star weekly, a canadian chinese-language paper, the federal government financed a television series hosted by rowswell with c$10 million (us$8 million) in the 1990s.
the problem, however, is that the english-teaching series, entitled "da shan & friends in canada" and broadcast on china central television (cctv), was funded through a special canadian sponsorship programme which was designed to increase support for federalism in post-referendum quebec.
former canadian prime minister jean chretien approved the fund whilst in power.
