You know that the Tecsun, Degen radios etc. that you like to deride are for
the domestic Chinese market, primarily. If what you say is true, how much
longer will they be allowed to make them?

Not only that, Tecsun/Grundig/Eton is WHOLLY owned by the Communist
Party. China has a thriving domestic SW broadcast market, mainly because
many parts of the country are not covered by MW/FM. The problem for the
CCP is that the same radios which allow Chinese to listen to CNR also
allow them to listen to RFA and Sound of Hope among others. The CCP
seems to be clueless as to this fact. In fact, the latest offering from
Tecsun, the PL-350, appears from the pics Liypn posted to have a TUNING
KNOB in addition to the usual slewing buttons. "We don't want people
listening to RFA, so let's make it easier for them to do so!" That's a
real symptom of a government disconnected from its people as well as
reality. Hopefully by the time the CCP wakes up to this fact, it will be
too late. Let's also hope that the implosion of the CCP from terminal
stupidity doesn't lead to riots at every Wal Mart in America.
