Trump is bending to China by abandoning Radio Free Asia, a critical source of independent news. Xi must be thrilled to see America abandon its commitment to press freedom. Just shameful. nytimes.com/2025/05/02/opi…

There will be many remembrances, but if you don’t already know what Rich did in the last days of the Vietnam War, then you should watch this. Wise. Fierce. Courageous. And always a lover of gossip. He was larger than life. Hard to believe he’s gone. pbs.org/wgbh/americane…

Today was a tough day. Most mornings the last decade my day started with a phone call from Rich Armitage. But not this morning. Rich was a friend, a mentor, and a business partner. He was my biggest supporter (and sometimes my toughest critic). He was a giant. What a life.

Thank you, @SenatorCardin, for reminding @POTUS to raise the cases of @RadioFreeAsia's Uyghur journalists with Xi Jinping. Their families in China are unjustly targeted by the CCP in retaliation for their brave reporting. #JournalismIsNotaCrime #PressFreedom
Senate Foreign Relations Committee@SFRCdems

Chair @SenatorCardin sent a letter to @POTUS, urging him to use his meeting with President Xi Jinping to push for the immediate release of Americans & the families of American journalists being held in the People’s Republic of China. Read the full letter⬇️ foreign.senate.gov/press/dem/rele…

Thank you, @chairmang, for your support as @RadioFreeAsia marks its 27th anniversary. I am so proud to helm an organization that brings answers, accountability, and empowerment through its journalism to people in Asia and around the world.
Select Committee on China@ChinaSelect

🎥 WATCH: Chairman @chairmang’s remarks at the 27th Anniversary celebration of @RadioFreeAsia — “That’s why the CCP finds Radio Free Asia so threatening — it understands the power of truth.”

Thank you, Chairman Menendez. Denying the Cambodian people access to @RadioFreeAsia underscores the value and need for RFA’s mission. @SFRCdems
Senate Foreign Relations Committee@SFRCdems

Dictators fear the free flow of information, especially when it makes them look bad. I strongly condemn Prime Minister Hun Sen’s actions blocking @RadioFreeAsia in Cambodia just days before their “election.” Cambodian authorities must restore access to RFA content immediately.

As nations attend the ASEAN Summit, we at RFA hope the cases of these individuals are not only raised, but that their wrongful imprisonment comes to an unconditional end. #PressFreedom is not a crime. tinyurl.com/vietnamjournal…

I'm so proud to helm this unique organization, with its amazing journalists who risk everything in pursuit of the truth, at a time when this work is more crucial than ever. Happy anniversary, @RadioFreeAsia!

(1/6) Today, @RadioFreeAsia celebrates 26 years of bringing answers, accountability and empowerment to audiences in Asia deprived of a free press. Here are some highlights from the past year:

Thank you, @SecBlinken, for hosting this event today that featured @RadioFreeAsia journalist Gulchehra Hoja. Chinese authorities have targeted Gulchehra and her Uyghur Service colleagues for their role in exposing abuses in #Xinjiang. twitter.com/SecBlinken/sta…
Secretary Antony Blinken@SecBlinken

Where freedom of expression is respected, societies flourish. Appreciated the opportunity to hear from journalists and civil society at the @ForeignPressCtr today where I thanked them for their vital work supporting democracy and human rights.

Despite the deterioration of a free press worldwide, @RadioFreeAsia stands strong, keeping 60 million+ in Asia informed on a weekly basis. A big thank you to @senrobportman and Sen. @ChrisCoons, and all our supporters in the Senate, for recognizing RFA's continued importance.

It was a lot of fun talking about my career and our work at RFA with DC's own @iHeartMedia! It is especially meaningful that it is airing during #aapiheritagemonth, at a time when we are looking for ways to boost AAPI leadership and community.

RFA president @bayfang is featured on @iHeartMedia's “CEO’s You Should Know,” where she highlights the challenges of pushing back on disinformation spread by authoritarian regimes. Listen here▶️: ihr.fm/3sZ0f2B #AAPIHeritageMonth #independentmedia
