By Christine Zosche 

Britain’s broadcasting regulator said on Thursday that it had withdrawn the license for China Global Television Network, an international news channel owned by a Chinese state broadcaster, to operate in the United Kingdom in part because its affiliation with the Chinese Communist Party violates broadcasting laws.

British regulators began investigating the channel in response to a complaint from human rights group Safeguard Defenders. (THR)
