I wonder, how many times did they go through their 3 strikes? With the amount of videos google banned on all of their channels should now go into hundreds.
An ordinary content makers may well be banned after 1. An evident velvet glove treatment.
But if I read in between the lines of your comments, you appear to be saying that all of CGTN's videos are propaganda that should be dismissed out of hand. I don't agree with that notion. Whether you agree with their views is another story, but I do think it is valuable for their story to be at least heard.
I find most of their reports to be pretty balanced and factual, even if they have an obviously mainland Chinese perspective.
Before concluding that their content is propaganda that should be dismissed out of hand, why not verify for yourself whether it's that bad? Their video content speak for themselves. You don't even have to agree with them.
The content produced by Liu Xin in particular are pretty high quality. She regularly invites guests -- even western ones -- on her show, who provide non-Chinese perspectives. Sometimes their guests even disagree with her.
If you disagree, I would love to hear why.
For example, it's easy to be factual and accurate when you can pick subjects that don't touch anything in a list of sensitive spots.
Another thing to keep in mind is the intended audience. If they don't expect more than, say, 0.1% of the Chinese population to watch that content, they might relax the censors. There are half a dozen cases of Brazilian rock records sung in English where the international version wasn't censored, but he Brazilian version was very tamed down.
I will admit that I haven't watched their content, though, so feel free to give a rebuttal.
