Free China live TV online

Watching China television online

GuardianTV Live lists 74 live China channels that broadcast free-to-air on the open internet. Each one is verified by an automated health check that measures uptime, latency and stream quality every six hours, so what you see on this page is what is actually broadcasting right now — not a stale list of dead links.

The China line-up is strongest in general (14), news (13), lifestyle (5). Pick any channel to start watching — playback begins in a second or two and adapts to your connection speed automatically.

Nothing needs installing. The player runs on HTML5 video and HLS, which every modern browser supports, and works the same on Windows, macOS, Android, iPhone and most smart TV browsers.

What you won’t find here

Subscription networks — the China sports and film channels people usually want most — are encrypted and never published as free streams. No free IPTV list can legitimately carry them. For those, GuardianTV is the paid service behind this player: 45,000+ channels, 115,000+ films, 99.9% uptime, and a free 12-hour trial that needs no card details.
