Quote:

(a) "It follows British media regulator Ofcom revoking state broadcaster China Global Television Network's (CGTN [中国环球电视网]) licence to broadcast in the UK.

"Ofcom's decision earlier this month came after it found that CGTN's licence was wrongfully held by Star China Media Ltd.

"CGTN was also found in breach of British broadcasting regulations last year, for airing the allegedly forced confession of UK citizen Peter Humphrey.

"In February the BBC published a report featuring interviews with Uighur women who said they had been systematically raped, sexually abused and tortured in China's 're-education' camps in Xinjiang. China's foreign ministry accused the BBC of making a 'false report.'

So, Ofcom has no parent agency.
