While at a New York City event, former Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman likened his party to China's Communist Party. Then he said he didn't say that. MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell broke it down in the latest Rewrite.

Do you recognize this actress? We want to interview her ASAP. Maybe you can help us out.

She appeared in the controversial Super Bowl ad controversial Super Bowl ad from Republican Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra of Michigan, who's running against Debbie Stabenow, an incumbent Democratic senator. It's been dubbed the "most racist" ad of the year.

The spot shows the Asian woman standing in a rice paddy (no stereotype there!) thanking Stabenow for raising the debt ceiling. In broken English, she says, "Debbie spend so much American money you borrow more and more from us. Your economy get very weak. Ours get very good. We take your jobs. Thank you, Debbie spend-it-now."

A nasty brawl broke out earlier today between Georgetown men's basketball team and the Bayi Rockets in Beijing, coinciding with Vice President Joe Biden's visit to China. (Geez Joe, can't take you anywhere).

In the fourth quarter, two players threw a couple of shoves after a call. It quickly erupted into a full-blown scuffle: guys on both teams threw out punches, tossed chairs, tackled one another. (What is this, football?) The crowd threw water bottles as the Hoyas team. (What is this, European football?) Not the kind of stuff you want to see at a goodwill game.

Refs never restarted the clock, and the score remained tied at 64 points.

Biden wasn't in attendance. The previous day, he watched the Georgetown beat the Shanxi Zhongyu Brave Dragons 98-81.

Georgetown coach John Thompson III said in a statement, "We sincerely regret that this situation occurred." A U.S. Embassy official referred to the chaos an unfortunate incident.

Georgetown and the Rockets are scheduled to play again Sunday in Shanghai.

Biden met with Xi Jinping, his Chinese counterpart who is widely expected to take over the Communist Party next year.

The jilted bride caught in the nick of time.

Just days before her wedding, a woman in Northeast China tried to jump from her seventh floor apartment when she learned that her fiance had married someone else. The jilted bride, 22-year-old Li-Wan, sat in her wedding dress sobbing on the ledge of her apartment while onlookers watched from below. Luckily,when Li-Wan was about jump, a local police officer caught her by the neck and eventually, with the help of her neighbors, pulled her to safety. Li-Wan was taken to a local hospital for an evaluation. The dramatic ordeal was caught on camera.

NBC News has confirmed that as soon as tomorrow, President Obama will name Commerce Secretary Gary Locke as his nominee to serve as the next U.S. Ambassador to China.  Locke would succeed Jon Huntsman, who is leaving the post next month amid speculation he will become a Republican presidential candidate next year.  Before joining the Obama cabinet, Locke had a long history of serving the State of Washington, including two terms as Governor.

U.S. ambassador to China Jon Huntsman

Just a short time ago, U.S. ambassador to China Jon Huntsman told the White House he plans to leave his post effective April 30. Now all eyes are on him for 2012.

The former Republican Governor of Utah reportedly wants to leave Beijing by May when he's expected to set up an exploratory committee to seek the Republican Nomination for President.

If he decides to run, he could give GOP front-runners a run for their money with his serious foreign policy street cred; the “I can see Russia from my house” defense won’t cut it against Huntsman.

President Obama appointed Huntsman to the job in 2009. He became fluent in Mandarin from his time as a Mormon missionary, which made him a natural fit for the position. The White House seems to loves the guy, which may hurt his chances with Republican voters.

Even Obama took note. The President joked last month, "I'm sure that him having worked so well with me will be a great asset in any Republican primary."
