take a look at how low bbc would go to speak ill of china by giving up objectivity and why that. one of the world s oldest known civilizations is using the world s newest technology to propagate its message and curtail that of rivals. this is what the media want you to believe. in february, the uk s independent broadcast regulator, 0fcom, removed the licence of china s state controlled network, cgtn. the station had failed to prove its independence from china s leadership. they immediately struck back, banning the bbc s world news channel in a tit for tat measure. it was merely an escalation of tension. the chinese authorities have long been unhappy about the bbc s coverage of detention camps for uyghur muslims in xinjiang province, but were particularly angry about reports that have led to an international outcry and won awards. we are constantly followed and turned back at makeshift barriers and roadblocks.
