CCTV may have paid the BBC or the music production company for the rights to this music sweep. I do not know, but I doubt the BBC approved this because BBC World News uses this sequence. The Chinese government bans BBC World News in all but major international hotels that have a very large proportion of clientel from abroad. It only allowed BBC World into these hotels a few years ago. It would not make sense for the BBC to approve that a competitor uses a promo that appears identical in nature. On balance, I thnk CCTV paid a production company for the use of the music and edited video in the same style of the BBC.

Not only the music sounded very similar, but the montage also looked like a copy.
