The streaming site said it would be expanding its labelling of China-backed outlets but did not give any further details. YouTube currently places a disclaimer on content from government-funded stations including CCTV, Xinhua and CGTN but does not include one for content from Chinese newspapers like the People's Daily, Global Times and China Daily.
