Several Danish business figures, including a consul general and a party chairman, have participated in programs aired on CGTN, a Chinese state-owned broadcaster, since 2022. This participation raises questions about potential influence and the platform given to a media outlet with close ties to the Chinese government.
The review, conducted by Berlingske, highlights the involvement of six Danish business people in CGTN’s programming. The appearances occurred over the past two years, suggesting a sustained level of engagement between Danish professionals and the Chinese media organization.
While the exact nature of their contributions to CGTN programs remains unclear, the fact that these individuals, including a consul general representing Danish interests abroad, have chosen to engage with CGTN is noteworthy. CGTN has faced scrutiny in the past due to its editorial stance, which often aligns with the policies and agenda of the Chinese Communist Party.
