Warner Bros. Distances Itself from Chinese Propaganda Outlet

Warner Bros. Discovery distanced itself from its recent partnership with a Chinese Communist Party propaganda organ after several GOP members of Congress wrote to the company’s CEO demanding answers, National Review has exclusively learned.

The entertainment giant had worked with the China Global Television Network (CGTN) to produce a documentary series, called “World’s Ultimate Frontier,” about the Xinjiang region. The series conspicuously declined to mention Beijing’s ongoing atrocities against Uyghurs and other minority groups and instead portrayed the area as a thriving cultural and industrial hub, leading Representative Jim Banks to accuse Warner Bros. of “whitewashing” the abuses.
