UK-based Chinese news network CGTN faces possible ban

Ofcom ruled that the channel aired forced confessions from a former British journalist

China's state-owned TV channel could be banned from the UK after the broadcast regulator Ofcom found it had aired forced confessions.

China Global Television Network (CGTN), China's English-language news network, faces statutory sanctions as a result of the ruling, which was based on a complaint from the former British journalist Peter Humphrey.
