Shaping a future at peace is unattainable unless people in the most repressed places can access accurate, timely news and information. RFA does just that.
Ahead of World Press Freedom Day, RFA President and CEO @bayfang shares this message.
Last month, we convened a closed, bipartisan roundtable on Capitol Hill, “China’s Transnational Repression: Three Communities, Three Phases, One Evolving System,” examining how TNR threatens Uyghur, Tibetan, and Hong Kong diasporas globally.

"RFA’s incisive brand of journalism, shining a light into the darkest corners of the world, is needed more than ever as the Chinese Communist Party and other autocrats race to cement the global narrative to suit their own ends." -- @bayfang

Radio Free Asia may not mean much to you and me. But it means a lot to many people in unfree countries, such as China. Now the U.S. has shut down RFA's Cantonese service, which affects Hong Kong, in particular. I have written a column. jaynordlinger.com/p/an-ameri…

In case you needed more evidence of how Trump’s foreign policy cuts are helping the CCP, here are a Chinese ambassador and a Hong Kong pro-CCP propagandist celebrating Radio Free Asia’s demise.
RFA Cantonese will shut down tomorrow due to the Trump administration cutting funding. Over the past several years they’ve been a critical news resource for Hongkongers as free media shut down or reined in coverage to satisfy government restrictions hongkongfp.com/2025/06/30/us…
Great mention of RFA's work and contribution in the DPRK - which is being dismantled at this very moment.
U.S. foreign policy is at a crossroads. Proposed cuts to staff and grants from the State Department supporting, in many cases, life-saving, human rights work may go into effect as soon as this week. Without changing course, the impact will be crippling. forbes.com/sites/oliviaenos/…
Thank you, @RepJoeWilson. RFA Uyghur is emblematic of the work we have done in countering CCP propaganda. We appreciate your vocal support!

Today RFA celebrates the release of Alsu Kurmasheva, an American journalist with our sister network @RFERL who was unjustly detained in a Russian prison.
We stand with the countless, brave journalists worldwide who put their lives and their freedom at risk to report the truth.

"We welcome news of Alsu’s imminent release and are grateful to the American government and all who worked tirelessly to end her unjust treatment by Russia," said @RFERL President & CEO @SteveCapus.
