Taiwan’s National Communications Commission (NCC) rejected a pro-Beijing news channel’s request for renewing its six-year license on Nov. 18, following a voting outcome of 7-0 among the seven commissioners.
CTi News is a satellite cable news channel, whose current license is scheduled to expire by Dec. 11, 2020. The channel frequently airs content widely seen as favorable to Beijing—which claims Taiwan as part of its territory and has sought to bring the self-ruled island under its fold.
