I just watched it and I have to say that I hate when newsman is asking right away and insinuates that bitcoin is primarily used to buy 'guns, drugs and other illegal goods'. Really? And you can't buy guns and drugs with dollars?! Also reporter is asking who is 'in charge of bitcoin', as he did not understand anything Kyle is saying for the whole interview of decentralized nature of bitcoin.

Of course CCTV is the Chinese state broadcaster, China Central Television so they have the slant of communist, statist authoritarians everywhere that are skeptical and anti-personal liberty.  Here they try to mask that with a small cloak of objectivity, but it definitely shows through.  (Not that many of the news sources in the EU and US aren't pro-government-power biased for sure, just that CCTV is too).

They have to comply with things like this (from Wikipedia): "...acceptability requires that a programme has acceptable content, preventing broadcasts of material that contains inappropriate content or holds against the Communist Party of China."
