There is a radio station in Las Vegas that is named \u201cLas Vegas Public Radio\u201d. It bills itself as the \u201cPeople\u2019s Voice of Las Vegas.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both the station’s name and catchphrase are rather misleading. <\/p>\n
First: in spite of their name, the station is NOT in any way affiliated with NPR. <\/p>\n
And second: the station is in fact registered as a lobbyist for Huawei Technologies. Huawei Technologies is a PRC-based telecommunications firm that is regarded by both the current Administration and many other national security experts as a potentially significant espionage threat to US national security.<\/p>\n
Las Vegas Public Radio began broadcasting in 2016. They have had Chinese nationals as “international liasons” since they began broadcasting. <\/p>\n
They formally registered as a lobbyist for Huawei in 2019. Since then (and perhaps even before), the station has also been a reliable conduit for pro-PRC propaganda.<\/p>\n
Mere coincidence? Decide for yourself.<\/p>\n
Oh, and did I mention that the station’s founder claims it is funded in part by Nevada taxpayers?<\/p>\n
The Washington Free Beacon<\/i> has published a fairly detailed article<\/i><\/a> concerning Las Vegas Public Radio. IMO it\u2019s worth your time to read it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
