Chinese Programs Provided for Radio Australia

A Chinese broadcasting station has started to provide programs for Radio Australia. The programs by Zhejiang Broadcasting Station, known as " Zhejiang Today," are targeted at Chinese citizens and people of Chinese origin in southeast and north Asia.

This is the first time a Chinese provincial-level broadcast station has offered programs for Radio Australia.

The programs are scheduled to be beamed by Radio Australia once a month, on Sundays. The programs were launched in early July.

"Zhejiang Today" includes news, backgrounders, and reports about common people's daily life, lasting 15 minutes every time.

The programs will introduce the changes that have taken place in Zhejiang, hometown of tens of thousands of people of Chinese origin.

The programs will also introduce Zhejiang's history, culture, custom, ecology, population, industry, investment environment and foreign-invested enterprises.

Earlier, Zhejiang Broadcasting Station opened news programs in the United States, Japan and Canada.
