I can imagine that they find a substantial audience, but I'm certainly not one of them. <br /><br />I prefer to listen to the Chinese programs, which are available both from Albania (at breakfast time on weekends) and directly from China - stuff like "a PLA doctor answers overseas students' health questions", or essays apparently mostly written by overseas Chinese peoples' children read out on the air, in the "Confucius Learning Hall" program. <br /><br />Even that, of course, only with moderation, so as not to get an overdose. My favorite programs are those from China National Radio, which are domestic programs, mostly for the FM-less Chinese hinterland, but also easily audible here in central Europe. <br /><br /><i>I expect much more substantial comments from you *all* the time</i><br />Impossible. I need to save that for a book project, which would pay me 1,000 Euros per page.justrecentlyhttp://justrecently.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038105257176899121.post-15414031973220532852011-06-08T13:44:59.675-07:002011-06-08T13:44:59.675-07:00JR.

Smile.<br />Actually, I did listen to a bit of CRI when I lived in Hanoi. Its soft power message failed to wrap me in its warm embrace, and that was before my long tour of duty in the PRC.
