yunhap news-China’s state-run Global Times reported that the BBC’s biased reports about Wuhan, who suffered from kidney problems or Corona 19, sparked strong backlash in China.
In particular, he added that the BBC report that women were systematically raped and tortured in Xinjiang’s reeducation camp last week was strongly refuted by a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
A spokesman for the BBC said, “The BBC is delivering fair and impartial articles to the world,” and said the Chinese authorities’ decision was “disappointing.”
China’s ban on domestic broadcasting of BBC World News also has the nature of retaliation for the UK’s cancellation of its broadcasting license, claiming that China International Television (CGTN), which has its European headquarters in London, is operated under the control of the CCP.
CGTN is a subsidiary of China’s state-run central (CC) TV, and is a channel that broadcasts broadcasts to over 100 countries in foreign languages such as English.
