I assure you, I am under no misperception about the heinousness of
China's government oppression. Doesn't mean I cannot enjoy it's
programming and get a QSL, which I'll bet they'll gladly give out.


Yep, sending a reception report and getting a QSL does not necessarily entail
tacit approval of a particular regime.


The US government apparently didn't agree. They used to intercept and
open mail, sent by SWL's to the radio stations of communist countries,
on a regular basis. It was common practice in the 60's and 70's. In most
cases the letters were eventually delivered to their destination, albeit
in a somewhat used condition. One would hope this has stopped but I bet
any letter sent from the US to the Voice of Korea or Radio Havana Cuba
may not only fail to be delivered but is opened and scrutinized.
