The source said that three intelligence officers reporting to China’s Ministry of National Security pretend to be journalists working for three different Chinese outlets.
“The British Security Service (MI5) revealed their true identity. After that, these three people were expelled from Great Britain,” according to the source.
Also on April 4, the British media management agency Ofcom announced the withdrawal of the license to operate the international television channel CGTN, which reports directly to the CCTV of China Central Television.
Previously, Ofcom conducted an investigation and discovered CGTN errors. Specifically, the media company Star China Media Limited is licensed to operate CGTN in the UK, but is not in fact “responsible for editing the content”. “This does not meet the legal requirement of having a legal license to operate CGTN,” according to Ofcom’s notice.
Minutes after Ofcom’s statement on CGTN, China’s Foreign Ministry accused the British BBC of spreading “fake” news about the Covid-19 pandemic and asked the broadcaster to publicly apologize.
According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the BBC used a video in which it claimed that China’s anti-epidemic forces were using violence against the people, when in fact it was a video of an essay on terrorism.
