About VOA Chinese
VOA Chinese (美国之音中文网) is the Chinese-language service of Voice of America, the international broadcaster funded by the United States government. This stream carries its Chinese radio programming, mainly news and current affairs spoken in Mandarin.
The service's website covers U.S. news, China, U.S.-China relations, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, and international affairs, alongside video, podcasts and live streams. VOA also runs a separate Cantonese service. Because the broadcaster is state-funded, its editorial line reflects a U.S. government-backed international outlet; programme times are not listed here because they are not published with the stream.
Listeners can expect news bulletins, reports and talk programmes aimed at Chinese-speaking audiences in and outside China, with a focus on topics that matter to those audiences such as regional politics and the economy. The stream is an HLS feed using AAC audio at about 140 kbps over HTTPS, and it was verified as delivering audio frames when last checked.
