That channel is one of the best for news (and believe me, it is not Chinese propaganda; if you thought so, you are wrong; they gave good coverage of world news).
CCTV, RT, BBC World Service, Radio Canada International, VOA etc are all propaganda services expressing the views of their particular governments of the day. Their broadcasts and programs are designed by experts not the appear to be just propaganda of a particular government in power but they are just that. That is why the Russian government spends hundreds of millions of dollars on RT every year and that is why American governments, over the years, have spent billions of dollars on VOA. In the end, there is little difference between these types of media and the Lord Haw Haw broadcasts of Nazi Germany or the Tokyo Rose programs of Imperial Japan.
