Friday, 12 February 2021 (YJC)_BBC Rejects Ideological Bias Claims After Beijing Bans World News Over 'Fake' Reporting on China.
The BBC has rejected China's reason for banning the BBC World News from broadcasting in China and Hong Kong.
"We stand by our journalism and totally reject accusations of inaccuracy and ideological bias. Our journalists have reported stories in mainland China and Hong Kong truthfully and fairly, as they do everywhere in the world," the broadcaster said in a statement.
The broadcaster added that it would spare no pains to make its news coverage accessible to people, stressing that accurate and impartial news is an undeniable human right.
China pulled BBC World News off air on Thursday for what it claimed were "grave violations committed in the channel's China-related reports". The move comes a week after Ofcom revoked China's English-language news network CGTN's licence.
