Spy accusations still haunt anchor

It remains uncertain when Fang Jing, a star CCTV anchorwoman rumored to be involved in a spy scandal, will return to her regular work, although she said yesterday she "is ready to head back to the screen".

"I have always been ready (to return to the anchor desk)," the 38-year-old told China Daily after a sudden reappearance on CCTV as a guest anchor on World Weekly, an international coverage program.

The program was recorded on Saturday and aired on Sunday night.
