China has banned BBC World News from broadcasting in the country, its television and radio regulator announced on Thursday.

Something they said?

They're returning the favour of Ofcom, who revoked the UK licence of a Chinese news broadcaster earlier in the week.

Plus, obviously the BBC keep mentioning the Uighar, and Hong Kong and so on.

Not really all that surprising. As far as China is concerned Hong Kong is China and has been since 1999.

BBC is not saying HK is not Chinese, they just reported on protests.

NB. I'm also not saying China is right, I'm just saying that all the anti-China rhetoric doesn't achieve anything, in my opinion.
