ShruteSastry Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 BBC World News will no longer be allowed to air in China, according to a decision announced on Thursday by the country's broadcasting regulator. Citing "serious content violation", the body claimed that BBC journalism had breached TV and radio regulations on impartial reporting. 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. China's State Film, TV and Radio Administration said 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." The commercially-funded 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". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
