BBC World News has been barred from airing in the Chinese mainland, state media announced Friday local time, about a week after a U.K. media regulator took away a Chinese state media outlet s license.
A BBC spokesperson confirmed the ban to The Hill in a Thursday statement, saying it is disappointed in Beijing s action. The BBC is the world’s most trusted international news broadcaster and reports on stories from around the world fairly, impartially and without fear or favour, the spokesperson said.

BBC World News Barred from Airing in China, Says Media Regulator
FOLLOW US ON:
British television channel BBC World News has been barred from airing in China, the National Radio and Television Administration said on Friday, a week after Britain’s media regulator revoked Chinese state television’s broadcast licence.
In a statement issued on the stroke of the Lunar New Year, the administration said an investigation found BBC World News’ China-related reports had “seriously violated” regulations, including that news should be “truthful and fair,” had harmed China’s national interests and undermined national unity.
The channel therefore does not meet requirements for foreign channels broadcasting in China and its application to air for another year will not be accepted, it added. The BBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
