I know that from here in Indiana it was very common in the past to
receive
the Chinese People's Broadcasting Stations from as far as Lhasa,
Kunming,
and other locations at this QTH.

Funny, but I never saw such MW receptions reported in DX News or the
IRCA
Monitor... that would be most amazing reception in the last 3 decades or
so.
Even in the peak years of good reception to the Pacific in the early
60's, I
never heard of a Chinese station making it East of the Rockies.

When did this occur and what stations were heard?

Do ya think he might just be referring to SW transmissions, oh faux one?

I was referring to the SW transmission in regard to the stations in Llasa,
Kunming, etc.

And this has exactly what to do with a reception on the low end of the MW
band?

I did notice however that John Plimmer from South Africa does an excellent
job with his DX operating from South Africa.
Quite amazing what he picks up although he does live in the 9 khz channel
seperation area versus our 10 Khz area here in the states.
However, I do note that he had quite a nunber of catches of US stations
even on the Western edge of South Africa.
Plus the fact they have much less in the way of co channel interference
and IBOC crap going on.

The fact is that South Africa has pretty much eliminated the MW band with
just a couple of exceptions. SABC has all of 3 AMs left, there are a half
dozen community AMs and 3 commercial AMs listed in WRTVH 2007. Otherwise the
band is virtually empty for about 1000 km, with 10 AMs in Botswana and a few
in other closer nations, most at a near perfect 90 degree angle to the
Americas.
