BBC getting it from all sides these days. The left don't like them because they are seen as too soft on the Government, the right don't like them as they are seen as too PC/Woke and weren't sufficiently pro-Brexit.
- free_rms 6y agoIf the UK is banning Chinese 'State Media', the BBC is a pretty natural target for a clap back..
- baja_blast 6y agoWell as another user has pointed out BBC has been banned since May 2018 https://en.greatfire.org/https/www.bbc.com https://en.greatfire.org/https/www.bbc.com. I don't know why Chinese companies/media outlets expect the same freedoms as everyone else when foreign companies and media outlets have practically none in China.
- yorwba 6y agoLet me show you a few more GreatFire Analyzer results: CNN: https://en.greatfire.org/https/www.cnn.com https://en.greatfire.org/https/www.cnn.com Die Zeit: https://en.greatfire.org/https/www.zeit.de https://en.greatfire.org/https/www.zeit.de Le Figaro: https://en.greatfire.org/https/www.lefigaro.fr https://en.greatfire.org/https/www.lefigaro.fr All currently accessible. So I think you are being overconfident in your assessment of the situation for foreign media outlets in China. Some are blocked, some are not. I also disagree with your suggestion that Chinese media shouldn't expect the same freedoms as everyone else just because China doesn't guarantee freedom of the press. There's no reason to copy them in that regard.
