If either Jiang Chunlei or his wife changes the channel, the rabbit gets very angry and starts biting and attacking them until they switch back to the show she was watching.

Jia Xiaoyu also refuses to watch TV from anywhere else other than sitting between Jiang Chunlei and his wife.

Following the coverage of this story across a number of international newssites, couch potato Jia Xiaoyu will be having his soap opera addiction looked at and will also be going on a much-needed diet.
