China shows zero tolerance for fake news by banning BBC World News
www.globaltimes.cn
China has sent the outside world a clear signal that it has zero tolerance for fake news Thursday by banning the broadcast of BBC World News in Chinese mainland. The decision comes as no surprise. For quite a while, BBC has been no longer a news organization that upholds objective reporting, but has degraded into a rumor mill with no bottom line. It’s fair to say it has become a vanguard in the West in concocting and spreading rumors and lies about China. BBC also views almost everything concerning China with double standards. And now, it is paying the price for what it has done.

It must be pointed out that banning BBC World News has nothing to do with freedom of the press. Does the so-called freedom of the press the West advocates mean media outlets are free to produce lies and launch politically motivated suppression against a target while being immune from any punishments? If so, China doesn’t need such freedom of the press. The Western media has no moral high ground to criticize China over freedom of the press.

      “you’re evil” I am not the one endorsing CIA-promoted hashtags and colour revolutions… I don’t defend everything China does, but your accusations are typical of an average Reddit user. When your arguments bring reliable sources and you don’t get them from Radio Free Asia, then we can debate about the bad and the good things of China’s government.
