CTi News (Chinese: 中天新聞臺; pinyin: Zhōng Tiān Xīnwén Tái; Zhuyin Fuhao: ㄓㄨㄥ ㄊㄧㄢ ㄒㄧㄣ ㄨㄣˊ ㄊㄞˊ) was a Taiwanese 24-hour online news outlet and, until December 2020, cable television channel, operated by Chung T'ien Television.
CTi News was known for its support of Kuomintang politician Han Kuo-yu, who attracted a huge wave of supporters and led the opposition party to a sweeping victory in the 2018 Taiwanese local elections when he was elected mayor of Kaohsiung. It is alleged to be a "China-friendly"[1][2] or "pro-Beijing"[3] media outlet due to its constant referral to Taiwan as the Republic of China.[citation needed]
In 2023, The Wire China reported that CTi News on YouTube produced 10 segments containing anti-American misinformation about a "plan to destroy Taiwan."[4] The segments were subsequently echoed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China.[4]
