Because Discovery Jeet’s content flopped, and they seemed to have given up easily.
Talk about brands not working properly.Jeet Prime has now become Investigation Discovery as of today. Earlier it was..... Investigation Discovery.
A complete U turn.
I once read that Telecable (limited to hotels and the like) pirated channels off American platforms, IDK if they did that with Latin American ones like the closest operators available to them, SKY Mexico (+Central America and the Dominican Republic), Dish Mexico and Claro Central America.
Cubavisión (not the international one, the local one with a blue and green logo) made international headlines for being the first channel in the entire world to air James Cameron's Avatar in 2010.
Oh and the internet is limited, recently they're making progress, yet speeds are slow. One of my old Spanish teachers went to Cuba in 2017 and was satisfied, probably because of the telecommunications issues. Only recently they're converting channels to 16:9 (Canal Caribe being a recent example) but I don't know if they're switching to HD yet.
Besides they're the only American country to use the Chinese digital terrestrial television standard, because of their regime.
They do that a lot in Hispanic South America. There are loads of community cable systems in Colombia with tons of FTA channels. They can carry regular cable channels but they're limited to nine IIRC.
Many minor cable operators in Venezuela used Canal RCN instead of its international version (Nuestra Tele Internacional (at that time, TV Colombia)) sadly Venezuela removed this channel alongside Caracol Internacional in 2017 due to strange relations with Colombia etc. They also get Globo affiliates from portions of Brazil instead of Globo Internacional. This may cause piracy costs for Globo and for its massive growing program catalogue.

Not that, it's the national (satellite) feed. However fewer and fewer people are getting it because of changes to Brazil with 5G, surprisingly enough some people are still on analog!Many minor cable operators in Venezuela used Canal RCN instead of its international version (Nuestra Tele Internacional (at that time, TV Colombia)) sadly Venezuela removed this channel alongside Caracol Internacional in 2017 due to strange relations with Colombia etc. They also get Globo affiliates from portions of Brazil instead of Globo Internacional.

Maybe it's due to bandwidth limitations. CGTN in Spanish is an alternative, aside from being part of the Chinese government of course.Intercable carries CCTV-4 but I don’t know if the authorities at CONATEL removed it because of Venezuela-China relations?

It might not be that, maybe CGTN en Español is more appealing, partly due to it overcoming the language barrier. CCTV-4 is in Mandarin, they dropped English subtitles from almost all of its shows recently.So that’s why the reason CCTV-4 got removed from major cable operators in Venezuela because of frequency and bandwidth limitations?

And RT's Spanish feed too.
Portugal only has five channels from China: CCTV-4, CGTN, CGTN Documentary, Phoenix CNE and Phoenix Infonews. There are also two local channels airing Chinese content (IU and CTC), however the content of these two is just looped playlists, they haven't even updated their content.
Too bad? On the contrary, Hunan TV is CCTV's biggest competitor (or was at one point). Same with Shanghai Dragon TV.In China, there are regional channels that transmit via satellite...too bad the entire Chinese TV market is dominated by CCTV and streaming video websites.
