China Abolishes Censorship Agency, Places Media Directly Under Xi Jinping

The move would tighten the Communist Party's control over media—and not just Chinese media, judging from recent applications of "sharp power" to enforce China's speech controls against Western citizens.

"The proposed administration directly under the State Council will be responsible for drafting policies and measures for radio and television management and their implementation, coordinating development of broadcasting undertakings and industries, promoting institutional reform in the sectors, importing radio and television programs, and facilitating the sectors to go global," China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported on Tuesday.

"It is also expected that China Central Television, China Radio International and China National Radio may be merged to form a new state broadcasting giant," adds Variety.
