Conservative MP Michael Chong is calling on the Liberal government to revoke the broadcasting licence of a Chinese state media outlet, noting its spreading of disinformation and violation of international human rights.
Such questionable conduct by the China Global Television Network (CGTN), the English version of the Beijing-run China Central Television (CCTV), includes the airing of pretrial confessions of Simon Cheng, a former employee of the British Consulate in Hong Kong, Chong said on Feb. 6 during a House committee on Canada-China relations, citing a Financial Times report.
