Attention is not a joke for comedian

China's most well-known comedian Zhao Benshan will reportedly attend the country's top political consultative body's annual conference despite speculation of his possible fall from grace.

Chendu-based Huaxi Metropolis Daily reported that Zhao, a skit and sitcom actor, is working on his proposal for the coming Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in March, dismissing rumors that he is likely to face an investigation.

A wave of allegations regarding Zhao and speculation that he was involved with political scandals have set tongues wagging about the close link between entertainment and politics, as his easy rapport with politicians is known to all.
