flag China expands Tibetan radio while shutting rivals, tightening media control in Tibet.

flag China has expanded Tibetan-language radio broadcasts from one to 17 programs, according to Reporters Without Borders and Phayul, as part of a broader push to dominate information in Tibet. flag This growth coincides with the shutdown of independent broadcasts by Radio Free Asia and Voice of America, removing key sources of alternative reporting. flag State media now promote Communist Party rule, ethnic unity, and blame unrest on foreign influences, while restrictions on journalists, travel, and private equipment limit outside access. flag Reporters Without Borders calls Tibet an "information black hole" and urges democratic nations to support independent journalism to counter the state’s growing media monopoly.
