CGTN

CGTN is a Chinese TV network that is owned and run by China Central Television (CCTV), a state-owned media company in China. The network, which used to be called CCTV International, is made up of six international, multi-language TV channels that promote China's political agenda to the rest of the world.

CGTN is registered with the State Council of the People's Republic of China, which means it is part of the Communist Party of China. Because of this, the content of the network is based on the Party's political agenda. This has led some people to say that it only shows the government's point of view.

Critics have said that CGTN is just a way for the government to get its point across, and several sources have called it a propaganda tool. Ofcom, the UK's media watchdog, is looking into claims that the network is biased, tortures people, and airs forced confessions.

Under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, the US Department of Justice told CGTN America in 2018 to sign up as a "foreign agent." This move was seen as a response to worries about the network's ties to the Chinese government and its ability to change public opinion in the United States.

Even though the network is surrounded by controversy, it is still a major player in the world of media, with a large audience in China and around the world. Policymakers and analysts pay close attention to how it covers international news and events, and it is likely that its influence will continue to grow in the years to come.
