Quid pro quo? (you transmit us - we'll transmit you)

Now what would be interesting to know is do these relay deals make any
difference in the editorial content of the relayed broadcasts and
maybe even other broadcasts.

Any western program material allowed in China is very carefully scrutinized
for content.
It is heavily monitored and censored. Providers risk losing access if they
don't comply
the CPC rules.

This also extends into the book publishing business as at least one well
known TV program
provider is also in the book publishing business. The Communist Party in
China has so
much clout with these morally corrupt publishers that the CPC can snap their
fingers and
the publisher will refuse to publish a book IN THE U.S. of A if it happens
to offend the CPC.

These are FACTS!

Why does CCP still fret over the news?

Afraid of the 'JiuPing' (Nine Commentaries) phenomenon, the Chinese
Communist Party attempted to control the media and interfere with the
freedom of press in the United States.

Last week I was listening to the early morning BBC transmissions from
East Asia but reception sucked so I tried the local FM band to see if
one of the local educational stations was carrying it. The news bulletin
ended when I had headphones for both on my head.

(The easy way to search a band for another transmission of a current
program is to put a diferent radio in each ear and do a quick sweep of the
band. When each ear gets the same thing, you get a strange echo effect.
If you work in an open (cubicle zoo) office you can tell when somebody
in the same room calls you on the phone, even though you couldn't hear
the person over the rest of the noise).

The next program on shortwave was one of their current events blocks
running one of a multi-part series on the problems of privitization
of public utilites around the world. But the FM band program was some
sort of inspirational filler about somebody or other. I guess that PRI
didn't want to offend any free market fundamentalists.
