The Chinese term for schadenfreude is xingzai lehuo (\u5e78\u707e\u4e50\u7978), and it does not take long for the sentiment to surface at the mention of Rui Chenggang, the smooth-talking state television anchor who was handed to prosecutors last Friday.<\/p>\n

Especially delighted are liberal Chinese intellectuals, who were offended by Mr. Rui\u2019s grandstanding manner of touting China\u2019s political and economic systems while cozying up to Western leaders and business executives at events like the World Economic Forum, where he was a regular presence.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018Most people are very happy for his fall,\u2019\u2019 one state media journalist said. \u2018\u2018They hated Rui\u2019s style of representing China or other people.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The events have unfolded with the speed of a media scandal in the West but with the signature flourishes of the Chinese Communist Party. Mr. Rui, 36, was abruptly hauled away on Friday by security officers. Then Chinese news organizations reported that Mr. Rui had held shares in Pegasus, a subsidiary of Edelman, the American public relations firm, while Pegasus had performed services for China Central Television, Mr. Rui\u2019s employer, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Edelman has confirmed central points of the reports.<\/p>\n
