Chinese Millionaire Chen Guangbiao promised $300 each to 1,000 of New York’s homeless. But the event soon revealed itself as a propaganda stunt. And one thing became clear—no one was getting any money.

The bizarre “bait-and-switch” press conference staged in New York this week by Chinese billionaire and self-proclaimed No. 1 philanthropist Chen Guangbiao drew some scathing comments from Chinese, who called him the “No. 1 hypocrite” and “the No. 1 idiot” in response to a Voice of America article.

Chen Guangbiao’s unusual press conference in New York was censored in China but, ironically, reported widely in the West.

Chen Guangbiao came to New York City, he said, because wanted to buy The New York Times. But it appears that he had something else in mind.

Chen Guangbiao boasts a robust relationship with the Chinese Communist Party.

Chen Guangbiao has announced that he is holding a press conference about apparent immolations in China that took place 13 years ago.

A Chinese businessman has caused a stir with public statements that he wishes to purchase a portion of The New York Times.
