A large Spanish-language radio station in Mexico will soon begin broadcasting in Chinese in a deal critics say will bring Beijing propaganda to Chinese Americans throughout Southern California.
A Federal Communications Commission filing on the sale of radio station XEWW AM 690 radio near Tijuana reveals the buyer has ties to Phoenix Satellite Television US, a subsidiary of Hong Kong's pro-Beijing Phoenix TV. According to government sources, signs that Phoenix is involved in the purchase of the radio station prompted the Trump administration last week to begin an investigation into the national security implications of the sale.
Phoenix TV has been identified by U.S. intelligence agencies as a major overseas outlet used to spread propaganda and promote the policies of the communist government in Beijing. The Hong Kong television station also has close ties to China's intelligence service and military.

SoCal ping
You knew that someone was going to do it.
Yes. Yes I did.

Can't understand just what does he say?
Radio Bondage China
From the kingdom of Xi.

I really liked that song when it first came out. Wall of Voodoo, right?
Snore, we already have 2 Chinese radio stations here.
Please ping me with any Southern California related articles. Thank you!
If you want on or off this ping list, please FReepmail me.
I dunno... could Chinese propaganda be any worse than American propaganda?
All they need is the Wolfman..
Yes, one of many fun, silly songs of the 80’s.
The US should install a Jammer in that area for that frequency. Or better yet just start a MAGA station on this side of the boarder.
Interesting.
I'm getting sick of them overpowering local stations with their high powered stations with poor frequency control (intentional?) beaming stuff north (I'm 140 miles north of the Mexico border, and it is a real problem here.)
Yep, China hasn’t shut down cooking on the grill.
Funny story, back in the ‘70’s my dad and were listing to a station out of Mexico. They were selling autographed pictures of Jesus.
