-It just proves this news outlet is used for Chinese propaganda to protect the state’s image, trying to undermine the U.S report by using words like debunked, smear, myths, and many more to discredit what the U.S state department uncovered in their findings. 

-Especially after the week 11 lecture and readings, it is easy to say that  CCTV is a speakerphone for the Chinese government. 

-Title shows how this outlet rejects U.S  “so-called” Hong Kong policy report act 

Argues that U.S sanctions “ . . . Interference in China’s internal affairs. . .” and tries to explain that it is a violation of human rights and democracy. 

“Smearing the national security law in the HKSAR out of political motivation is clear hypocrisy in adopting double standards, the spokesman said.” 

- More evidence that the outlet is government-backed.

-Ideas favor mainland China.
-This type of news reported is to discredit national viewpoints, and to protect the image of China and its laws.

"The report is a gross violation of international law and basic norms governing international relations and an outright interference in Hong Kong affairs, which are China's internal affairs."(CCTV)

 

“Noting that the U.S. lags behind Hong Kong in global rankings both for freedoms and the rule of law, the spokesperson pointed out that the United States' own human rights situation is bleak, with recurring racial discrimination and police violence and record-high gun trade and shooting incidents.”(CCTV)

-CCTV reminds the audience that Xi, the President, is general secretary of China Central Committee, chairman of the Central Military Commission, breaker of chains, mother of dragons, queen of Targaryen, etc. I hope everyone got the reference I was trying to make to GOT. CCTV has made a point to remind the reader just how powerful President Xi Jinping is and should listen to what he has to say. 

“The purpose of learning from the heroes is to apply their spirit in everyday work and demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility toward people's lives and safety.”(CCTV) 

“Only by respecting heroes will other heroes emerge, and only by hailing them will more appear in their place.” (CCTV)  - They are pushing for more people to stand by the government because if you do, you will be a hero. It would be very manipulating if the only information received was this kind of state-run media.

 

-They also bring full-spectrum stories and show what both sides want to say for themselves.

For example,

-In the Foreign Correspondents Segment, Arirang showed neutrality and studio guest from both sides of the spectrum. They had a TASS Correspondent(Russia) and an Australian Freelance Journalist on the show talking about U.S-China relations. Doing so helps create a non-bias approach and helps guide the audience to see what both sides see and value.

The 30-minute segment was over the rising tensions in the Korean peninsula covers China-U.S relations, China-North Korea relations, and U.S- North Korea relations. My Theory is that they cover issues that will directly affect South Korea and its future. 

Seem to report on topics and give a whole spectrum perspective, being American, this news is almost dull, but it is also very insightful and helps the viewer see both sides of an issue/topic.

-When CCTV reported on issues and topics, they had little to no criticism towards The Chinese government, while Arirang agreed that human rights violations were happening in China. 

-CCTV Discredited all information that was not from an official Chinese spokesperson. 

Arirang did the opposite and brought insight and information given from both sides.

-CCTV is a weapon of manipulation for the Chinese government instead of a platform for accurate information.

Arirang is a weapon for facts and truth. 

Arirang -Pro-Democracy     

CCTV -Pro-government

These two outlets are very different from each other One is an extremely bias operated outlet. In contrast, the other practices ethical Journalism, and it is effortless to point out the two.
