But..why would they give the dumber one a Drake? Communism makes no sense at
all.

And Socialism makes no sense in CanaDuh, 'tard boy.

Why do SW stations broadcast scary and silly religious nonsense: because
they sell the airtime on the open market. It's called capitalism. Same
reason that China is buying pieces of petroleum companies in North America.
It's for sale and they buy it.

China is a big and growing trading nation, and everyone wants to be friends
with those with money to spend. China is allegedly moving in a market
economy direction so friends is good and makes $.

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.

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.

I check out this and other Asian re-broadcasts on a regular basis and
find
them to be very culturally oriented- rather than the political
propaganda
you might expect. Listen awhile and you may find it very entertaining-
in
other words; nothing like the Cuban news commentary!

Agreed, and the weekend English programming from Xian to Africa
(audible here in the US, probably off the back of the beam) is a good
bet for actually being able to easily QSL a Chinese outlet - and the
programming fun and decent.

yep, torture and murder are fine tools, used by everyone who wants to make
money.

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!

Oh my "God"(?) Robert, these things actually occur in China as we write.
Gasp!

It is all a subtle form of propaganda.
Their programming is made to make you "feel good" about the country.
This removes your aversion to the fact that the Chinese Communist Party
is a murderous regime.

Go tote that CPC QSL boy! - LOL!
