Pardon? That's absolutely not true, you can access it. If you are going to spread your usual bullshit, at least get your facts straight. You sound more and more like the average mouthpieces of western regimes.

Second, it would be cool if you stopped misleading people and uniforming. The truth is that most people in China hate the BBC, and they hate it mainly because they can access it, and see the bullshit it writes about their country. Not surprising tbh. My girlfriend doesn't care about politics and is not overly nationalist, but she can't read the Chinese BBC page because of how much full of shit they are.

Edit: a few months ago BBC wasn't blocked. I just tried it, now it's blocked. Still, when me and my girlfriend used to check it, it was not good

The problem with western media reporting on China is that they're full of lies, biases and fake news and narratives. They're really part of the western propaganda against China and have become increasingly hysterical as China has become ever more successful and the West in general is in decline and failure almost across the board.

The West's problems with Chinese media outlets in the west is mostly about how China presenting itself and sometimes defending itself against western attacks and smearing of China. In fact, the West has started to lose some of its composure and confidence in itself. For example, PBS recently stopped airing of CGTN program of China's poverty relief program under a lot of political pressure.

Do you see the difference here? China doesn't like some of the western media because of their overwhelming negative and lying and cheating reporting on China; the West doesn't like Chinese media's programs portraying China in more positive light in contradiction of the western reporting and their defense against western reporting of China. There are no equivalence between the two.

Yes, because CGTN did not (and presumably has never) complied with OFCOM rules.

BBC World in China, but stories critical of the Chinese government

The hypocrisy and irony is too much! Our friend here lives in an alternative world.

So the British can censor a News broadcaster for not "following" it's rules. But China are not allowed to censors the BBC for not following China's rules. Particularly if they only stamped their paper work twice instead of three times! Lol

Guys, let's not be too hard on our man from the A-Team. He lived a sheltered life. The information he gets to inform him about the world is rather limited. So it's quite understandable that he should ahem. See things differently.

Basically, everything CCP China is very very bad, and evil personify! Everything western is utopia and righteous. Because let's face it. Westerners always plays the white men! Lol

That's really hits the nail on the head.

The views are so straight and narrow, deviation from the script is impossible.

It is like Victorian era morality is preeminent in the world, while the world has clearly moved on.

The world does not buy that line anymore. In fact, half the population of those countries broadcasting that line don't buy it either.

I would still give credit to that angry black man for debating like a gentleman on the forum.

Who knows. It's an anonymous forum. Could be Prince Charles on the other end.

:D

This is why debating with him is child's play. He is so..... one dimensional. It really is all too easy. I never had so much fun since debating society at university!

You can access this in China?

I'm sorry, it's generally accepted the Chinese language service of the BBC is blocked in China by the authorities. I've seen no one credibly assert let alone evidence that they're freely able to access articles critical of the CCP on the Chinese language service, at least without a VPN.

Most people do not use VPNs and officially they are against the law in China. You may get away with using them but if the authorities find out you've used one they reserve the right to punish you - especially if you try to share that news online in China.

Few of them try to access it, they're just fed pieces of information without the supporting evidence. Someone might post "BBC lies about X" on the Chinese internet, but you can't watch an interview with an intereview in Mandarin with a Chinese protester/whoever explaining what happened to them.
Edit: a few months ago BBC wasn't blocked.
You're confusing the English language website with the Chinese language version. And the English language site

The same article confirms that:

"However, other BBC services including its Chinese-language news website has been blocked largely since it was launched."

Even if the BBC English language website is periodically available in China it's irrelevant because the vast majority of Chinese people cannot understand the content, especially the more complex material involving interviews and detailed political discussions.

Some of these American and British news reports on China are reminiscent of how North Korea reports on the US.

The irony is all those American commenters laughing at how dumb the North Koreans are, while they themselves completely believe all the crap their media feeds them.

I'm starting to think that there's no hope for Americans, they will not wake from their delusions any time soon.

We've seen this before with the Soviet Union and their Iron Curtain. While NYT continually feeds the American people with made up stories of Chinese genocide and imminent collapse, Wall Street will continue to siphon wealth from the diminishing middle class to the elite few. Americans will remain cocooned in their self-proclaimed superiority until their economy crashes down around them.

Lots of people in the USA are going to die in the coming months, all because the US government is morphing into what they say China is (but we all know that China isn't what the USA says but who wants to hear the truth) and they are stupidly cheering it on like a typical suck up without any critical thinking whatsoever.

I don't know if I am going to have much sympathy remaining for these people after all is said and done
