RFA is back in business! We are proud to have resumed broadcasting to audiences in China in Mandarin, Tibetan, and Uyghur, providing some of the world's only independent reporting on these regions in the local languages. They join RFA Burmese and Korean, which has been reaching audiences inside Burma and North Korea since December. This critical work, which we've been able to resume due to private contracting with transmission services, is already making waves. RFA's Uyghur Service aired a report over the weekend about how children of detainees in Xinjiang are being forced into manual labor at a young age instead of going to school (link below).
Congress' recently enacted FY'26 spending package, signed into law by President Trump, shows its unwavering bipartisan support of our critical mission and work. Rebuilding our network relies on us receiving those funds consistently. But I am confident our work will continue and grow. RFA's incredible journalists and technicians, as well as our legal and HR teams, have made this all possible. I cannot be more proud of everyone behind this effort to get back on our feet as we enter a critical phase for our organization's present and future.
