UK regulator to look at whether Chinese state-backed channel broke impartiality rules
The Chinese state-backed news channel CGTN is under investigation by the
British media regulator over claims its coverage of
protests in Hong Kong breached broadcasting rules.
Ofcom announced on Monday that it was looking at whether the station “broke our rules requiring news to be presented with due impartiality” on four occasions in August and September while covering anti-government demonstrations in the city, which has seen millions of people take to the streets.
