For a longtime, you can't watch the BBC in China. BBC, CNN, Fox news, ABC, google, youtube, Facebook, twitter, Yahoo news.., every online western news portal is currently banned in China! I don't even know how the west tolorates that, especially when Chinese apps like tiktok and wechat are making waves in the western World. The Chinese even banned Skype and whatsapp!!! Once they don't like the liberal disposition of the western media outlets, the next action is to ban.. Running up to the olympics, all these websites were open in China! You can even watch critical youtube channels that rubbishes the Chinese government from China. But few months after the olympics, the Chinese clamped down on all of these sites with little or no protests from the west. The likes of CNN and MSNBC and BBC can only be viewed in very few public places like the hotels. Most times with permission. Individually, you have to use some sort of vpn to access any of the sites, otherwise, you have to make use of the Chinese sites or the few western sites not yet noticed by the Chinese....

The Chinese government knows how to control the messaging and is not ready to share the control of the people with any foreign entity. That's why the Trump presidency's arms twisting tactics against them must have proven a big deal in Beijing. I think most wetern governments over the last 40 years or so have gotten so used to the Chinese "queer" behavior on sundry issues and have looked the other way whenever these kinds of behavior are showcased. The Chinese are aware of this and have taken time to assert themselves strongly on issues they consider to be very important to safeguarding their national interests including curtailing the invasion of the Chinese society by foreign news organizations,with unrestricted broadcasting.. In so many ways this is good too. It helps the leadership of the country to steer the citizens along patriotic lines in a world in which the western powers have turned imperialism and subjugation as lethal tools for the pursuant of their overreaching foreign policy goals..

Politicians in West are internationalist sympathetic to communism. In fact, they are responsible for China growth. How did they achieve that? They simply started moving factories in the West to China along with proprietary technologies. Now, that Trump has gone, Biden is trying to repair that relationship. The goal of these globalist is a bigger communism, like the one in China. Everything has to do with controlling everyone.

Raab says it's unacceptable but when Ofcom banned the Chinese service because of political control, was it acceptable? This is why Sub-Saharan African countries should be rich - you talk when others are talking. If there is one thing I appreciate about the rise of China is that western countries will have a taste of what they do to other weaker countries. China is not a country to be bullied around.

I may not be a fan of Chinese foreign trade practices, biased protective policies, harmful predatory methods or bully tactics.
But their rise in global stage will be a good check on western reckless hegemony and imperialism.
The west has taken the rest of us for a ride for too long....it's time for some reality check.
U need to visit some foreign media website n read comments...the whites are so bitter n jealous.
Some even called for prosecution of western business men who moved factories to China- they call them traitors.

As per the news...
Well most foreign media outlets are virtually non existent in china. I guess BBC won't miss anything.

CGTN, the Chinese Global Television Network, opened its European production center in London two years ago. But last week, Ofcom, the British regulator, announced it was pulling the network's license because China's Communist Party oversees the network's editorial policy. British law forbids political bodies from controlling license holders.

Experts had expected retaliation by the Chinese government against BBC reporters in China, even though the BBC is editorially independent of the British government.

The British government controls broadcasting license holders in their country through Ofcom, so the statement that "the BBC is editorially independent of the British government" is not really true.

On the other hand, if the Nigerian government were to ban the Chinese Global Television Network (for any reason), I wonder whether the Chinese government would retaliate by banning the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). grin

Same here, I read their comments on the Financial Times and The Guardian UK. Unfortunately for them, China isn't South Korea or Japan who are rich subjects of the US and subject to her whims. Again, unfortunately for them, their population is declining and since they believe in population powered GDP, they will have to continue with open borders and risk having a divided society. There is nothing they can do at this point - China is here to stay and anyone against her will be dealt with ruthlessly.

when a country has a system of government that suits it, the sky would just be a starting point for it.
This is nothing new. China has been banning western things that dont conform to its rules and regulations. if you doubt me ask google.
America sanctions China, China sanctions America, 1-1 .

I pray for the day Nigeria and africa find the system of government that suits us. When we do, no western country would be able to stand us.

You have said it all.

Olominira:
The West hasnt come to the term that today's China is no longer a small poor nation. I'm very sure China doesn't need UK for anything whatsoever, it UK that needs chinese money and investments; from banking to tourism, education, etc.
It's better they adjust to the term early that China is not one of the African nations they can address or treat anyhow.

Look everything you said is true. But you are saying it as if the west have a choice. Bros, they no get choice. it is either the Chinese way or the highway. Ask google.
That is what happens when a country is self sustaining, that is what happens when a country has a system of government that suits it.

China is what it is today without
1. Democracy
2. freedom of speech
3. human rights
etc

And guess what, it suits them. Ask an ordinary Chinese they would tell you their system of government is the best.

Nigeria needs to find a system of governement that suits it. Likewise other African countries

A good note, but I wonder why you described the Chinese behavior as "queer"?

I thinks it's important we put this at the back of our mind that the 5 EYES are keen to maintain an imperial hold on the rest of the world. They use their information media and platform to control narratives, even an attempt at controlling our thoughts.

To the western powers, China and Russia are seemingly beyond the reach of their influence. And they are great rivals to western hegemony. In this sense, they have pivoted to East with all tricks in their tool box. More often you hear about Navalny poisoning, street protests in Russia and Belarussia; Uighur genocide, Hongkong protest. The western powers are desperately trying regime change in these places because they claim these countries are not democratic. But it's failing.

None of the powers like to talk about the horrendous war they have brought on Yemen. Saudi Arabia's undemocratic rule, Israel caging Palestine, and all other regime change attempts that have brought death and destruction.

The governing system in China is working. The people of China are happy with it. The system has brought immense development to the society.

Let the west leave the east to live in peace.

Democracy is the best form of government among all the available choices. Even, a Theocracy, Government by the authority of the Divine like Iran and Saudi is suffocating their people. The people can not think, talk or behave like humans. The government wants to control everything about them.
