Next time please link a scientific paper or a more neutral source.

Reporters without Borders has reported China as the “World’s leading prison for citizen journalists” According to Reporters Without Borders 2019 report; China ranks 177 out of 180 countries in the World Press Freedom Index, which equates to almost zero press freedom.

According to Foreign Policy, CGTN is a part of a global $6.6 billion media expansion campaign involving TV, radio, and newspapers that started in 2009 during the presidency of Hu Jintao, Xi’s predecessor. The purpose of this is to serve as a global mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party.
