I reviewed the of his comments with context many times. I believe that he meant for China goverment. I am glad that CNN later came out with explaination and apology. It is good enough for me. The term of "Chinese" used in that context indeed carried an ambiguity that needs to be cleared.
As far as your assertion that by Chinese, CNN means the whole ethnic group of Chinese, regardless of citizenships of any kind, I think it is groundless.
Everyone knows that America has racism problem. Although I myself never experience it, I did heard complaints once a while indirectly on TV and newspapers. But the racism claimed during protest by Chinese students is wrong. They probably do not understand the term.
Anyway, there is no parallel between CNN and CCTV. They do not even belong to the same category no matter how much people would believe. CNN is private news company while CCTV government controlled propaganda agency. One is private bussiness while another branch of government. One has to be as objective and balanced as possible competing with other news companies while another carefully conducted disinformation to control public's perception and minds.
I still have CNN along with FOX, MSNBC. They are very good at reporting news. See? in America, you can have several news channels to watch. You should. On some breaking and important news, you watch them all to get all styples to see how it is reported at each channel and reconcille them to get true picture.
In China, you do not have that privilege. Every news information is on need-to-know basis.
Recently, the former Mayor of Shanghai got convicted. His sentence was said to be too light. CCP immediately issued a ban on any discussion on the matter. That is disinformation to say the least. There are many more happening daily
So CCTV should really feel honored when people talk about them with CNN
