中國駐英大使館發言人答記者問
記者問:英國通信管理局剛剛發布決定,判定中國國際電視臺2019年5個時間段的涉香港新聞報導違規。請問中國大使館對此有何評論?
使館發言人:中國國際電視臺英語頻道是一家成熟的專業國際新聞服務機構,在英國落地17年來,為傳遞中國聲音、傳播中國文化、增進中英兩國人民相互了解發揮了重要作用。
多年來,CGTN一直在英國通信管理局規定範圍依法依規運營,遵循新聞職業道德操守。去年6月「修例風波」發生之後,香港陷入持續動蕩,大規模違法暴力活動不斷升級,把香港推到極為危險的境地。CGTN採訪香港各界代表,反映港人希望儘快止暴制亂、恢復秩序的心聲,這完全是開放、透明、客觀的報導,不僅無可厚非,而且非常有必要。它有助於外界了解香港事態的全貌,特別是香港沉默大多數的願望和呼聲。
希望OFCOM作為獨立的監管部門,切實秉持公平公正原則,做出客觀全面的判斷,重新考慮其對CGTN的判定。

Embassy Spokesperson's Remarks on Ofcom's decision of Investigation on CGTN
Question:Office of Communications (Ofcom) has just published its decision of investigation which indicates that 5 programmes of China Global Television Network (CGTN) in 2019 are in breach of Ofcom’s due impartiality rules. What is the comment of the Chinese Embassy in the UK?
Embassy Spokesperson:CGTN English Channel is a well established and professional international broadcaster, which has played an important role in reporting on China and its culture and deepening mutual understanding between the people of China and the UK in the 17 years since coming to the UK.
In all these years, CGTN has strictly complied with British laws and regulations, operated within the framework of Ofcom regulation, and followed professional ethics of journalism. Since the outburst of social turmoil last June, Hong Kong has seen sustained escalation of massive violence which pushed the city to the brink of an extremely dangerous situation. CGTN talked to members of the public in Hong Kong and broadcast the interviews to make their calls for an immediate end to violence and restoration of social order heard. These interviews, which are open, transparent and objective, are not only with all due cause but also highly necessary. They help the world see the full picture of what was happening in Hong Kong by giving voice to the silent majority.
It is our sincere hope that Ofcom, as an independent supervisory authority, would make an objective and comprehensive judgment on the basis of the principle of justice and fairness, and reconsider its decision concerning CGTN.
