Don't they already use it the most? I doubt they will scrap it.

Wish you were right, but scrapping the site is part of the plan at
this point. *Canada DX will become a much tougher target outside North
America with only the tiny/= 1 kW outlets left
.

What will the Chinese use?

Cuba - they use it now. Not of the same quality as Sackville of
course, but just as close. Besides, here in California, Chinese
mainland stations are received just as well as the Cuban or Sackville
relay transmissions.

Also, French Guiana has a relay station ready and willing to provide
more business. And, if RNW does not tear down Bonaire, that's
available too.
