Why does Radio Canada retransmit Radio China International? China seems
to jam most western stations, why should we help them?

Why do SW stations broadcast scary and silly religious nonsense: because
they sell the airtime on the open market. It's called capitalism. Same
reason that China is buying pieces of petroleum companies in North America.
It's for sale and they buy it.

China is a big and growing trading nation, and everyone wants to be friends
with those with money to spend. China is allegedly moving in a market
economy direction so friends is good and makes $.
