The BBC has a report about this televised confession of Chen Yongzhou and three previous similar events.
Should I believe the statements on tv?

Caught the same report.
It is 50:50 whether Chen tried to shakedown Zoomlion, such reportage being a minor industry in China.
It is another thing altogether parading his confession on TV in line with the (the new/old) Xi admin narrative.
They could have shown a bit of historical respect though by decking Chen out in a dunces hat and necklace of table tennis balls.

Yep – negative publicity or propaganda – 负面报道 or 负面宣传. I suppose it’s more than just a minor industry, especially in a country where people love to badmouth others, even for non-profit purposes.
But I see no constellation under which I could believe that Chen “took money”, just as I see no constellation under which I can simply believe that Gu Kailai had Neil Heywood murdered.
