83 years ago today, on February 24, 1942 (January 10, 1942 lunar calendar), "Voice of America" was founded. "Voice of America" was founded on February 24, 1942. "Voice of America" broadcasts a wide range of content, but its focus is on two aspects: one is to quickly report international news, which is its main means of exerting influence, and it is also its trump card; the other is to promote the "American way of life" to arouse foreign listeners' "good impression" of the United States. The other is to watch the audience's speech and strengthen the pertinence of the program. Since its establishment in 1942, "Voice of America", which is affiliated with the US State Department, has been one of the most famous Chinese-language broadcasters in the world. It has experienced major events such as the victory of World War II and the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Chinese Broadcasting Department, which has always been a key "mouthpiece" for the White House to instill American values in China, has always been highly regarded. The media said that the suspension of the broadcast will "mean the end of the era of US government broadcasting in China". On February 16, 2011, the American Broadcasting Board of Governors, the parent body of the "Voice of America", submitted its fiscal year 2012 budget to Congress. If approved by Congress, its Mandarin and Cantonese radio and television programs will be cancelled from October 1 this year, and only the Chinese website will be retained, and the Chinese department will also be greatly reduced. The cold reception of the "Voice of America" immediately sparked speculation. Enders Weinbush, chairperson of the Broadcasting Board's Strategy and Budget Committee, came forward to defend that the "Voice of America" is not trying to stop broadcasting to China, but to transfer the task to other stations. At the same time, the propaganda task of the "Voice of America" is shifted to the Internet to enhance the dissemination effect. Why is the "Voice of America" cutting the Chinese broadcast? The obvious reasons are mainly: in terms of technological changes, in the Internet age, radio does seem outdated. The Chinese department of the "Voice of America" has to admit that not many Chinese people listen to the radio; from a budget perspective, the Obama administration, under the pressure of a record budget deficit, is justified in taking action against the "outdated" "Voice of America".
