China Radio International (CRI) (Chinese: 中国国际广播电台; pinyin: Zhōngguó Guójì Guǎngbō Diàntái) is the People's Republic of China (PRC) state-owned international radio broadcaster, currently headquartered in Babaoshan, a subdistrict of Beijing. Formerly Radio Beijing, and originally Radio Peking, it was founded on December 3, 1941. CRI also publishes online dailies called Beijing News and Beijing International.
CRI adopts the PRC Government's stance on political issues such as the Political status of Taiwan and the status of the Dalai Lama. CRI claims that it "endeavours to promote favourable relations between the PRC and the world". As with other nations' external broadcasters such as Voice of America, BBC World Service and Radio Australia, CRI claims to "play a significant role in the PRC's soft power strategy" and "going out " police,aiming to expand the influence of Chinese culture and media in a global stage.And it is trying to employ new media to compete with other international media. Unlike those broadcasters, CRI's control via indirect majority ownership or financial support of radio stations in various nations is not published.
It has 32 overseas correspondent bureaus and 6 main regional bureaus, and broadcasts over 2700 hours of programming each day (24 hours in English), including news, current affairs, and features on politics, the economy, culture, science and technology.Its overseas reporting involves 65 languages.
CRI has the most comprehensive foreign service in Asia. More than 50 shortwave transmitters are used to cover most of the world; it is broadcast via the internet and numerous satellites; and its programs are rebroadcast by many local FM and AM radio stations worldwide.
