Chinese nationalists and state media could
hardly contain their schadenfreude after
President Donald Trump signed an executive
order Friday to dismantle Voice of America
(VOA), Radio Free Asia (RFA) and other US
government-funded media organizations that
broadcast to authoritarian regimes.

For years, the Chinese government and its
propaganda apparatus have relentlessly
attacked VOA and RFA for their critical
coverage of China, particularly on human
rights and religious freedom.

And now, the Trump administration is
silencing the very institutions that
Beijing has long sought to undermine – at a
time when China is spending lavishly to
expand the global footprint of its own state
media.
