CTi News was known for its support of Kuomintang politician Han Kuo-yu, who attracted a huge wave of supporters and led the opposition party to a sweeping victory in the 2018 Taiwanese local elections when he was elected mayor of Kaohsiung. It is alleged to be a "China-friendly" or "pro-Beijing" media outlet due to its constant referral to Taiwan as the Republic of China.
In 2023, The Wire China reported that CTi News on YouTube produced 10 segments containing anti-American disinformation about a "plan to destroy Taiwan." The segments were subsequently echoed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China.
