Beijing Backed Covert Radio Pushes Chinese Propaganda on American Airwaves!
A Beijing backed radio station is airing pro-China propaganda on U.S. radio stations.

From article:

BEIJING/WASHINGTON: In August, foreign ministers from 10 nations blasted China for building artificial islands in the disputed South China Sea. As media around the world covered the diplomatic clash, a radio station that serves the most powerful city in America had a distinctive take on the news.

Located outside Washington, D.C., WCRW radio made no mention of China's provocative island project. Instead, an analyst explained that tensions in the region were due to unnamed "external forces" trying "to insert themselves into this part of the world using false claims."

Behind WCRW's coverage is a fact that's never broadcast: The Chinese government controls much of what airs on the station, which can be heard on Capitol Hill and at the White House.

WCRW is just one of a growing number of stations across the world through which Beijing is broadcasting China-friendly news and programming

The article states there are 33 such radio stations in 14 countries. This doesn't surprise me at all. My guess is our government will do nothing about it.

The left cry about conservatives dominating the airwaves. They have even tried to pass legislation limiting the amount of airtime given to conservatives. I bet we won't hear a peep from those people on this issue. China is communist after all, which is what the left in this country strive to be. This will be just fine to them. As long as it fits their narrative.

No interest?

I think this is a pretty important story. When was the last time a foreign government sponsored media outlet was allowed to push propaganda on U.S. programming?

Maybe the propaganda has been working. It states that the station can be heard on Capitol Hill and the White House. That would explain the hard turn towards communism/socialism the last decade by the democrats. They've been listening to China state-run radio.

Maybe if they got shut down the democrats would snap out of their anti-American daze and begin putting forth pro-American legislation.
