Radio Free Asia (RFA), a US government-funded, independent broadcasting service banned by China, is back on air in Mandarin, Tibetan, and Uyghur languages, reported hongkongfp.com Feb 20. President and CEO of RFA, Ms Bay Fang, announced on LinkedIn on Feb 18 that the services were back after US President Donald Trump cut off government funding in Oct 2025.
“This critical work, which we’ve been able to resume due to private contracting with transmission services, is already making waves,” Fang has said.
“RFA’s Uyghur Service aired a report over the weekend about how children of detainees in Xinjiang are being forced into manual labor at a young age instead of going to school,” Fang said.
