Peter Dahlin was one of the first foreigners to China to be forced to “confess” on camera in 2016 for the human rights work he did in China. Later, his confession was broadcast on Chinese state-run TV. He was released and expelled from China 3 weeks later.
Now, Dahlin is leading a systematic campaign to get Chinese state media CGTN and CCTV off the air in Europe and other western countries.
In this interview, he explains how his efforts successfully got the UK to suspend CGTN’s license, as well as detailing some of the work behind the scenes. He also shares how, in hindsight, he found the experience he went through valuable.
