Here it is, from the infamous 'impartial' BBC. There's so much propoganda gem here that an average political propaganda student would do well to learn.
I've reproduced the complete article so we can digest what's been said.
China bans BBC World News from broadcasting
Published1 day ago
China has banned BBC World News from broadcasting in the country, its television and radio regulator announced on Thursday.
China has criticised the BBC for its reporting on coronavirus and the persecution of ethnic minority Uighurs.
The BBC said it was "disappointed" by the decision.
It follows "
British media regulator Ofcom revoking state broadcaster China Global Television Network's (CGTN) licence to broadcast in the UK."
my thoughts: note they are trying to separate their censorship organ as separated from the U.K. state apparatus. By mentioning 'Ofcom' but who control and regulate ofcom? Yes you guessed it.
Separately, the broadcaster Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) said it would stop relaying BBC World Service programming in the region, prompting condemnation from the BBC.
'Curtailing freedom'
"China's State Film, TV and Radio Administration"
My thought: note this is now the state apparatus and therefore it is different to Ofcom!
said that BBC World News reports about China were found to "seriously violate" broadcast guidelines, including "the requirement that news should be truthful and fair" and not "harm China's national interests".
It said that the BBC's application to air for another year would not be accepted.
The BBC said in a statement: "We are disappointed that the Chinese authorities have decided to take this course of action.
"The BBC is the world's most trusted international news broadcaster and reports on stories from around the world fairly, impartially and without fear or favour."
My thought, Noticed this is the often repeated to their audience of how fair and impartial they are. It is little wonder their readers or one of our member here thinks BBC is such a fair and impartial institution
The
commercially funded (again trying to suggest they are an independent organ) BBC World News TV channel broadcasts globally in English. In China it is largely restricted and appears only in international hotels and some diplomatic compounds, meaning most Chinese people cannot view it.
British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab called the move an "unacceptable curtailing of media freedom".
The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.
The US State Department condemned the decision, calling it part of a wider campaign to suppress free media in China.
In Hong Kong, the publicly-funded broadcaster RTHK said it was suspending the relaying of BBC World Service radio. It had previously aired it daily from 23:00 to 07:00. It also removed a weekly Cantonese programme from the BBC's Chinese Service from its schedule.
BBC World News TV channel broadcasts, however, are still available in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong, a former British colony, is expected to retain certain rights and freedoms, including freedom of press, until 2047, as part of a handover agreement between China and Britain.
Hong Kong Journalists Association chairman Chris Yeung Kin-hing told the South China Morning Post that RTHK's decision was
"disturbing and worrying", amid questions about whether RTHK was instructed to act by the authorities. (Again trying to suggest political meddling. But RTHK is a public funded body, just like ....... eh. BBC?) Lol.
The RTHK union also called the decision "extremely regrettable", adding: "Under the policy of One Country Two Systems, we've never seen Hong Kong being required to follow decisions of China's State Film, TV and Radio Administration before".
Hong Kong's Office of the Communications Authority said it "did not set boundaries" and that decisions were up to individual operators.
A BBC spokeswoman said: "We condemn this decision by the Chinese authorities.
Access to accurate and impartial news is a fundamental human right and should not be denied to the people of Hong Kong and mainland China, millions of whom rely on BBC News every week." (Oh, and somehow its ok to denied that human rights to the chinese people of the U.K. by banning CGTN)! HYPOCRISY KNOWS no boundaries!
The corporation rejected accusations of bias and said it would make every effort to bring the news to its audiences, who would "still find ways to access the BBC".
The actions in China and Hong Kong follow Ofcom's revoking of the CGTN licence after it found it was wrongfully held by Star China Media Ltd.
for airing the allegedly forced confession of UK citizen Peter Humphrey. So when China aired confession It's forced And a lie so it's against the rule to air untruth. But when BBC aired Xinjing falsefully, but it is ok. Who gets to decide what's truth or false? Oh let me guess the BBC.
CGTN can now also no longer be broadcast in Germany following Ofcom's decision, Deutsche Welle reports, as the licence in Germany had been approved by Ofcom as part of a sharing initiative.
Worsening relations
Relations between China and the UK have seen a serious deterioration in recent months over Hong Kong,
where Beijing introduced a controversial new security law after a large pro-democracy movement swept the ex-colony. So it is China's fault for the worsing relationship . The fact UK been meddling in China's internal affairs which entails China to enact the national security law has got nothing to do with it?
In January the UK introduced a new visa that gives
and eventually become citizens because it believes
China is undermining the territory's rights and freedoms. (Another message that hammers home the big bad China message!)
And in the past two years China has been systematically blocking or banning foreign media, including
in 2020. The BBC website and its app are already banned in mainland China.
In February the BBC published
who said they had been systematically raped, sexually abused and tortured in China's "re-education" camps in Xinjiang. China's foreign ministry accused the BBC of making a "false report".
Last month the US said
in its repression of the Uighurs and other mainly Muslim groups.
According to estimates, more than a million Uighurs and other minorities have been detained in camps in China.
China denies that Uighurs are persecuted. Last year China's UK ambassador Liu Xiaoming told the BBC's Andrew Marr that reports of concentration camps were "fake" and the Uighurs received the same treatment under the law as other ethnic groups in his country.
(And so while you are here reading this, we the BBC Will throw in everthing from the uyghurs genocides and Hong Kong human rights.)
