  3. “Red Radiowaves never Fade”: War Preparedness Communications Museum opens in Sichuan

    According to a Sichuan Daily report on September 22, the museum is the first of its kind in China. Its location is former Sichuan International Radio Station (四川国际电台) in Meishan, Sichuan Province. The radio station was reportedly established in 1965 as "a shortwave international radio facility approved by the State Council during the ‘Third Front Construction’ campaign". The station is said to have been in operation until 2002. The museum is intended to play a role in the CPC propaganda department’s "red-telecommunications cause", as a part of a general program that guides school classes, tourists and party cadres through what is frequently referred to as a "red legacy" and "patriotic education".

    "Red Radiowaves never fade", People’s Daily, the main party organ, approvingly titles its report.

    When built 61 years ago, the shortwave station was reportedly a response to Mao Zedong’s call "to prepare for war, to prepare for natural disasters (or famine), and to serve the people" (備戰、備荒、為人民).
    The station is said to have been internationally used, but there seems to be little information about who it communicated with abroad. It could be that it also served for connections to diplomatic missions (the same has been explicitly said about Peking International Transmitting Station ("regular and extraordinary telecommunications tasks"). That one, established some 14 years earlier than Meishan Station, was also a Xinhua broadcaster. In contrast, Meishan transmissions probably never targeted the general public.

    The 15+ hectares site has been a museum since 2005, but the emphasis seems to have increasingly shifted from industrial history in general, towards red telecommmunications history, with the exhibition sections of "Tracing the Red Mission, “Exploring the Red Radio Waves,” and “Continuing the Red Bloodline.”.

  28. Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative and share with friends. congress.gov/contact-us

    Dear Senator / Representative:

    Please speak out about the politicization of disaster relief.

    On September 1, President Trump announced on Truth Social that he was approving disaster dollars for states that included campaign endorsements for each state. Here’s an example:

    “I just informed Andy Barr, who is running to be the next Senator from the incredible Commonwealth of Kentucky, that I am approving 9.1 Million Dollars for severe storms, winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, that they are recovering from. The Great People of Kentucky are resilient, smart, and tough, and I am with them all the way. Vote for Andy Barr — He has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and he will never let you down! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

    An AP analysis from July showed that Trump has “rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.”

    Congress must make it clear that disaster relief decisions must not be politicized.

    I ask that you:

    - Clearly denounce this behavior.
    - Introduce a congressional resolution that emphasizes the non-political nature of disaster relief.
    - Decry the blatant linkage of disaster relief and campaign endorsements. If this is not illegal, please make it so.

    Thank you.
