Brussels  - New Tang Dynasty TV (NTDTV), a Chinese television broadcaster critical of the authorities in Beijing, on Thursday urged Eutelsat, a French-based satellite provider, to resume its transmissions to China.

"We are all familiar with the stories that companies like Yahoo and Cisco are assisting the (Chinese) regime on their internet blockage. Now, it looks like Eutelsat is willing to follow suit," said Jenny Fang, NTDTV's director of corporate relations, at a press conference in Brussels.

Eutelsat stopped NTDTV's broadcasts to China on June 16 citing technical problems.
