Great news source

A rare found unbiased news platform that provides a balanced view of the entire world. No American exceptionalism, no superiority, no prescription of what’s best for the world. No bs about freedumb and democracy. Keep up the good work.

news produced by China

Everything is okay, however why is that many of them all speak English with a strange accent?

Pure Propaganda

Only worth listening to in order to see what agenda China is pushing this week. Devoid of reasoning this show relies on poorly placed platitudes to say “you should think this”. What a joke.

Great news source with experts for different topics

A very good news source to know what’s happening on the world everyday. Like the discussion a lot.

Echo Chamber

After listening to many episodes I’ll say Chinese news media place great value on elitist talking heads making it very much like listening to the mainstream media here in the USA. The Chinese pundits fawn over their leaders same as the media here fawn over Democrat politicians. When CRI have an American commentator onboard, I’ve only heard a Democrat echo chamber, no balance given. If you’re looking for something like this you’ll be well pleased with CRI podcasts in general.
