Shaping a future at peace is unattainable unless people in the most repressed places can access accurate, timely news and information. RFA does just that.
Ahead of World Press Freedom Day, RFA President and CEO @bayfang shares this message.
"RFA’s incisive brand of journalism, shining a light into the darkest corners of the world, is needed more than ever as the Chinese Communist Party and other autocrats race to cement the global narrative to suit their own ends." -- @bayfangrfa.org/english/about/releas…
Radio Free Asia may not mean much to you and me. But it means a lot to many people in unfree countries, such as China. Now the U.S. has shut down RFA's Cantonese service, which affects Hong Kong, in particular. I have written a column. jaynordlinger.com/p/an-ameri…
In case you needed more evidence of how Trump’s foreign policy cuts are helping the CCP, here are a Chinese ambassador and a Hong Kong pro-CCP propagandist celebrating Radio Free Asia’s demise.
RFA Cantonese will shut down tomorrow due to the Trump administration cutting funding. Over the past several years they’ve been a critical news resource for Hongkongers as free media shut down or reined in coverage to satisfy government restrictions hongkongfp.com/2025/06/30/us…
U.S. foreign policy is at a crossroads. Proposed cuts to staff and grants from the State Department supporting, in many cases, life-saving, human rights work may go into effect as soon as this week. Without changing course, the impact will be crippling. forbes.com/sites/oliviaenos/…
Today, Sept. 29, marks the 28th anniversary of Radio Free Asia. Twenty-eight years later, PRC and other regimes are expanding efforts to control the information space, underscoring RFA’s continued value.
