China’s CGTN found in serious breach of UK broadcasting rules Chinese state TV network had aired allegedly forced confessions of British citizen Peter Humphrey
//The UK’s media regulator has found China’s state broadcaster to be in “serious” breach of its rules on fair treatment and privacy after it aired allegedly forced confessions, putting the network at risk of losing its licence to broadcast in the country.
Ofcom said on Monday that China Global Television Network’s two programmes China 24 and News Hour had breached rules “both in connection with the obtaining of material included in the programmes, and in the programmes as broadcast”.
In May, Ofcom found CGTN had broken its broadcasting rules on impartiality and failed to present alternative viewpoints to that of Beijing after separate investigations into its coverage of pro-democracy demonstrations in Hong Kong last year.//

HK Government Allegedly Follows China-funded Media's Criticism to Censor "Hong Kong" "Independence" on Artwork in Public Park
In 2020, pro-China media controlled by the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government condemned the appearance of individual characters denoting "Hong Kong" and "independence" on a boat sculpture displayed at Sai Kung Waterfront Park in Hong Kong.
The sculpture is modeled after a origami boat that is made of a piece of newspaper. The words which the China-funded media criticized are, in fact, random characters that appear on the newspaper.
According to Sai Kung district councilor Leung Hin-yan on May 25, 2021, the Hong Kong government has "renovated" the paper boat and that words like "'Hong Kong" and "independence" were removed. Leung suspected that the act is a censorship based on the authorities' political motif.
