EXPOSED: Beijing's covert radio network airing China-friendly news across the globe

A special investigative report from Reuters published on Monday details the expanding network of radio stations across the U.S. covertly controlled by State broadcaster China Radio International.

The CRI-backed stations in the United States broadcast in more than a dozen American cities, including Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Houston and San Francisco, and are part of a wider global radio network comprising at least 33 such radio stations in 14 countries. They offer a mix of news, music and cultural programs that are all China-friendly. News segments often focus on China's development, such as its space program, as well as its contribution to humanitarian causes.

Many of the shows are highly professional and indistinguishable from mainstream American radio shows, while others are much less polished with some broadcasters even speaking English with noticeable Chinese accents.

The stations primarily broadcast content created or supplied by CRI and generally avoid any criticism of China. Their political angle noticeably reflects the Chinese government's rhetoric on issues, such as the current tension in the South China Sea between China and the United States. For example:
