Introducing...
THE VOICE OF CHIAN
In the beginning...
Conceived in the violence of the Tiananmen Square uprising on June 4, 1989, The Voice of China came into being in 1991, evolving from the original efforts of handful of dissident Chinese students. These students some living in China and others studying abroad dedicated themselves to keeping alive the message of hope for fellow human rights advocates by sending news broadcasts into the People抯 republic of China. Their message was a clarion cry for freedom.
A new Voice wins recognition...
Since then, The Voice of China has grown steadily to become a well established, highly respected organization staffed both by broadcast professionals and committed individuals maintaining the mission set forth by the founders: to provide objective, multi-dimensional coverage of worldwide news including political, social, and cultural events梟ews which otherwise might be withheld by the government-controlled media in mainland China.
Interesting, Informative, Enlightening...
The Voice of China provides a comprehensive program of information to Mainland China delivered via short wave frequency (15280 kHz) twice daily from 5:00 to 6:00 a.m. (Beijing time). Broadcast tapes normally comprise a wide variety of news reports, cultural events, lectures, and forums concerning contemporary political and social developments in China and around the world. A popular forum-style broadcast, The Save of Smuggled Chinese Immigrants, analyzed illegal immigration from different perspectives. Annually, The Voice of China honors June 4 with commemorative programs such as Reflections and The Light of Freedom.
Other special productions includes: a report on awards to individuals prominent in the pro-democracy movement (sponsored by the Chinese Foundation for Education in Democracy); coverage of the Conference on the Pan American Association of self Governing Students: a report on the Yangzi River Dam engineering project; a memoir of noted publisher Hu Zhiwei抯 forty year association with People抯 Daily; a review of public sentiment following Wei Jinsheng抯 release from prison; a coverage of the Seminar for Chinese Affairs organized by the American Association of Chinese Studies, and more.
Into The Future...
Funded primarily by The Foundation For China In The 21st Century (a non-profit organization registered in California), The Voice if China has attracted the attention of many international broadcasters, journalists, and scholars by producing high quality broadcast programs in Mandarin. Programming is designed to uphold freedom of information by offering an alternative source of news and commentary to listeners whose access to such news may often be denied. For many in Mainland China, The Voice of China has become the voice of hope.
Diversity Of Programs...
To generate increasing audience involvement, The Voice of China utilizes a variety of program formats each aimed at addressing contemporary issues and events in China and worldwide. Programming is structured to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of listeners ranging from highly educated urban professionals to those living in remote rural areas whose exposure to Western culture I soften severely limited.

中國之音
简 介
信息传播的自由，乃是一切自由之母。
占全球人口五分之一的十二亿中国人民对维护全人类的自由，并为
此作出特有的贡献，负有重大的责任和义务。
九十年代初期，血浓于水的海外留学生与学者、海外侨胞，急中国
大陆人民之所急，想中国大陆人民之所想， 在美国旧金山湾区创建
了“中国之音”电台，并于一九九一年二月十五日正式开始，通过
台湾的发射台向大陆播音。这些年来，“中国之音”用短波 15280
千赫波段，每天清晨北京时间五点至六点播音，并于一九九三年五
月一日起增加 11940 千赫频率于每天下午四时三十分至五时三十分
波段，以“促进中国大陆现代化，为大陆人民实现并行使知情权、
表达权、传播权创造条件”的编辑方针，力求客观公正地向中国大
陆人民传送现代社会的信息资源。中国之音还与俄罗斯国家电台合
作，即有些节目从一九九二年起，通过“莫斯科电台”大功率发射
台，每周三次向中国大陆广播。
同时，“中国之音”在联络国际上对华广播电台方面，也作出了富
有创造性的探索。一九九四年和一九九六年十月曾先后两次邀请美
国之音、英国广播公司、加拿大广播公司、法国国际广播电台、德
国之声电台等九家国际电台，举行了国际对华广播研讨会，除介绍
各自的工作经验和发展计划以外，也探讨了各个对中国大陆华语广
播节目互相合作、营造新的优势，达成了富有建设性的共识。
"中国之音”的主要节目有：
《参考消息》，报导在中国大陆官方媒体上，禁止或可能禁止的国
际要闻，以及与中国事务有关的重要新闻;
《自由评论》，对新闻时事发表独立的评论;
《特别报导》，对重大新闻事件或新闻人物，作深度的系列报导;
或邀请有关专家学者、侨界和社区领袖等，举办“空中论坛”或
"空中座谈会”，就焦点问题作深入的分析与讨论;
《人物专访》，主要访问对象是中国大陆知名人士、研究中国事务
的专家学者、中国与美国的政治活动家;
《海外学者讲座》，邀请中国留美学人主讲，广泛探讨中国大陆政
治、经济、教育、文化、环保、妇女等各方面的问题和政策;
《波士顿论坛》，由哈佛大学留美学者主讲：中国的自由、民主、
人权等;

国局势;或对重大新闻事件、美国的中国社区事务，进行新闻性评
论分析;
《听众服务》，解答大陆听众的来信提问，并提供咨询材料;
《留学生天地》，介绍全美各大学概况和学术流派、风格，并为大
陆准备来美深造的人员，提供留学资料和相关的服务;
《海外华人》，介绍海外华人在异域创业的成功之路、生活趣闻、
服务祖国的情感和事迹;此一节目受到俄罗斯国家电台“莫斯科电
台”的欣赏，自一九九二年起在该台频道上，每周三次向中国大
陆广播。
此外，还有《神州夜话》、《八千里路云和月》等节目。
在节目的制作上，“中国之音”运用旧金山湾区华裔传统集聚、大
学及高级研究机关相对集中的优势，因地制宜、因人制宜、因时制
宜，标新立异，独树一帜。
一九九三年初夏，“中国之音”推出“偷渡移民潮”的特别报导，
邀请侨界、学界、新闻界的知名人士举行“空中座谈会”，对举
世瞩目的大陆非法移民潮，从各种不同的视角提出评论和建议，
《中国时报周刊》对“中国之音”的这一活动，以“非法移民潮
难堵宜疏”为题，及时作了较全面的介绍。
一年一度的“六四”，在国际社会中已成了近年来的重要纪念日，
海外华侨和留学生往往都会举行一系列的纪念活动，“中国之音”
尽其所能，制作了“六四的省思”、“自由之光”等特别节目，
采访了当年天安门广场的学运领袖和关注中国民运的各界美国人
士，向大陆听众表达了“永难忘记”的追思。
此外，“中国之音”在近期颇具影响的“特别报导”还有：(由中
国民主教育基金会评选产生)杰出民主人士颁奖暨座谈会、全美学
自联代表大会实况、长江三峡建坝工程技术研讨会、胡绩伟在《
人民日报》四十年的回顾、各界人士对魏京生获释的反应、全美
中国研究会举办“中国问题研讨会”，等等。
"中国之音”作为电子媒体，它还努力通过《世界日报》、《星岛
日报》、《联合报》、《新闻自由导报》、《北京之春》、《中国
之春》和当地的英文媒体，及时介绍报导其节目内容，既扩大信息
资源的传播效应，也增加了它在海外的影响力，同时还获得了各界
人士的更多的支持。
在国际间众多的华语广播中，“中国之音”正以其独特的功能和努
力工作，将在促进中国大陆信息自由传播方面，作出应有的贡献。
在日益增多的听众来信中，赞扬“中国之音”与VOA和BBC及法国
国际广播电台不同，是真正由海外中国学人自己创办的电台，“代
表了中国的良心”！
Academic Conferences
The Foundation thus far has organized 15 conferences held at various
American universities, designed to promote the participation of
eminent Chinese scholars--including Chinese experts living in the
U.S, and scholars from inside the PRC-- to explore the various
issues concerning the strategies for the democratization of China,
as well as to plan for the future democratic-society institutions
guaranteed by a democratic Constitution.
A comprehensive draft of a democratic Federal Constitution for a free
China has emerged from these conferences. The widespread attention
of this draft has aroused much constructive dialogue and engaged the
enthusiastic participation of many intellectuals across the broad
political spectrum of the Chinese community. The result has been
excited endorsement through widespread discussion of the document in
the mainstream Taiwanese political community (in a process involving
scholars and politicians alike.)
