The official website of the China State Radio and Television Administration issued a bulletin at 0:00 today (12) that the BBC World News channel has been banned in China. This is a countermeasure taken by the Chinese side within a week after the official Chinese outlet China Global Television Network (CGTN) was revoked for Ofcom’s broadcast license in the UK on the 4th.
Except that the BBC World News Channel cannot be received via satellite signals in mainland China, when our reporter tried to click on the BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/, they found that the sites websites that were normally accessible in the past is no longer available. Whoops, you have to activate VPN circumvention software to watch. Since then, China has blocked another foreign news website.
The SARFT briefing indicated that, after the investigation, the relevant content of the BBC World News report relating to China was in serious violation of the relevant provisions of the “Regulations on the Administration of Radio and Television” and the “Measures to the administration of the landing of satellite television channels abroad “and violated the requirements that the news must be truthful and fair.
The briefing stated that the BBC report on China “damages China’s national interests and undermines Chinese national unity, and does not meet the requirements for foreign channels to reach China.” The State Administration of Radio and Television does not allow BBC World News to continue landing in China. Landing requests will not be accepted.
Regarding the ban imposed by the State Administration of Radio and Television of China, the BBC expressed disappointment, stating that “The BBC is the world’s most trusted international news outlet, reporting news from around the world fairly and impartially without fear or favoritism. “
The spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry has repeatedly “appointed” the BBC to refute false and untrue reports related to China. For example, Wang Wenbin stated in a regular press conference on February 4 that on July 17, 2020, the BBC News Night program interviewed a Uighur woman named Sao Mure Dawuti, “but the facts Yes, she has fabricated too many lies and it has become an actor and a tool for anti-China forces to attack and promote Xinjiang. “
In addition, in February 2021, the relevant person in charge of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China made solemn representations to the head of the BBC News Beijing branch regarding the news about the new corona pneumonia broadcast by the BBC on January 29. 2021, thinking it was fake news.
The relevant person in charge of the Information Department pointed out that the news video from the BBC’s Beijing branch related to the new corona epidemic linked the epidemic to politics, fought the “concealment theory”, the “theory of the source “and the” theory of responsibility “of the epidemic, and also used a video of the anti-terrorist exercise like China. The “violent law enforcement” news broadcast by the epidemic prevention department is typical ideologically biased fake news and has a bad influence. The Chinese Foreign Ministry asked the BBC to publicly apologize for the fake news in its reports. But the BBC issued a statement saying: “He refused to apologize and adhere to the principle of justice.”
