CGTN seeks influencers at UK universities

The Chinese foreign TV broadcaster CGTN is looking for potential employees at British universities. According to a report in the Times of London, the state-owned network, which recently had its broadcasting license for the UK revoked due to excessive influence by the Chinese government, is offering up to $10,000 for cooperation. The students are supposed to represent pro-Chinese points of view as influencers via social media and video platforms as part of the „Media Challengers“ program.
