Following cuts to U.S.-funded foreign news services, particularly Radio Free Asia, China has seized the opportunity to amplify its propaganda in Asia. A recent analysis indicates that while U.S. broadcasts have significantly decreased, China's state media has expanded its reach and frequency of broadcast. This shift allows China to dominate the information landscape in areas previously reported on by U.S. outlets, creating a strategic advantage for Beijing in its information warfare amid a backdrop of the Trump administration's diminishing global media influence.
"The U.S. decision to shut down much of RFA's shortwave broadcasting in Asia is a case where the Trump administration has yielded a strategic advantage to China."
"With those disappearing, there is evidence to suggest that other countries are stepping in to fill the void left by the reduction of U.S. international media operations."
