Mexican Radio to Beam Chinese Propaganda to United States ?



U.S. probes links between buyer of Tijuana station and China's Phoenix TV
By Bill Gertz

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.

Hong Kong bans pirate radio as "air traffic risk"

A pirate Hong Kong radio station run by democratic activists was ordered to cease broadcasting days before a city-wide legislative council election after the broadcasts were deemed a risk to air traffic control.
Hong Kong’s Telecommunications Authority served a notice to Citizens’ Radio to stop all broadcasts after a complaint from the Civil Aviation Department that the station’s radio transmissions posed a potential aviation threat. “The interference may pose potential hazard to aircraft operation,” the Office of the Telecommunications Authority said in a statement.
The organisers of the radio station, which has a pro-democracy agenda and runs a variety of shows including one hosted by gay youngsters, slammed the muzzle order as political suppression ahead of Sunday’s election, in which the pro-democracy camp faces a tough fight to maintain its influence.
The telecoms watchdog said it would take “enforcement action” against Citizens’ Radio if it failed to get off the air in Hong Kong, a former British colony which returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
Analysts say Hong Kong’s pan-democracy camp could struggle in the polls, with a surge in post-Olympic Chinese nationalism possibly swelling public support for pro-Beijing candidates.
