No Cold War condemns Ofcom for suppressing Chinese TV channel
INTERNATIONAL peace group No Cold War has condemned Ofcom’s decision to revoke China Global Television Network (CGTN’s) broadcasting licence.
Ofcom announced that it would remove the licence on Thursday, saying that CGTN is “ultimately” controlled by China’s ruling Communist Party.
It had launched an investigation into the network last year, saying that CGTN’s coverage of protests and riots in Hong Kong in 2019 lacked impartiality.
