China has banned BBC World News from broadcasting in the country, just days after British media regulator, Ofcom, revoked the China Global Television Network's (CGTN) licence to broadcast in the United Kingdom.
The Ofcom's decision came in the light of an investigation which concluded that the licence was wrongfully held by Star China Media Limited. Days later, China, which has often hit out at BBC for its reporting of novel coronavirus and persecution of Uighur Muslims, banned BBC World News from broadcasting in the country.
China's National Radio and Television Administration has accused BBC of broadcasting reports on China that "infringed the principles of truthfulness and impartiality in journalism."
