NEW YORK, October 6, 2008 -- Cartman seems to be the only person aware of the gathering threat the Chinese pose to the United States in an all-new episode of "South Park" entitled, "The China Problem." Fresh off an Emmy� win for the "Imaginationland" trilogy, "South Park" returns with seven all-new episodes beginning Wednesday, October 8 at 10:00 p.m. on COMEDY CENTRAL.

After watching the intimidating opening ceremonies of the recent Olympic Games, Cartman understands that the Chinese are only just days away from invading his homeland. While the rest of the American people are haunted by the memory of a recent tragic event, only Butters will stand with Cartman as he confronts the Chinese.
