(Worthy News) – China has barred BBC World News from airing in the country, a move that comes not long after the British broadcasting license for a Chinese state-owned entity called CGTN was revoked.

According to the Associated Press, the license for CGTN was pulled last week by Britain’s communications watchdog Ofcom, which highlighted connections to China’s Communist Party among its reasons underlying the move.

“The BBC already is generally not viewable in China outside of some hotels, businesses and residential compounds for foreigners,” the AP noted, adding that it was not evident whether the block would impact reception at such places. The National Radio and Television Administration has indicated that “it would not accept BBC’s broadcast application for the next year,” according to the AP. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
