New York (CNN Business) China banned BBC World News is from airing in the country, according to a statement China's National Radio and Television Administration released last week. The BBC says China is doing a disservice to its citizens. "China is taking its place on a very short list of countries alongside North Korea and Iran that explicitly and totally blocked BBC News coverage," Jamie Angus, the director of BBC World Service Group said on "Reliable Sources" Sunday. China doesn't belong on that list, Angus said, adding, "Chinese people are very outward looking. In a statement, China's NRTA claimed BBC World News had broadcast reports on China that "infringed the principles of truthfulness and impartiality in journalism."
