Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear Chairman Pai, It has come to my attention that the Federal Communication Commission is currently reviewing an application (File Number: 325-NEW-20180614-00001 ), received June 20, involving H&H Group USA LLC and XEWW. a Mexican broadcasting station. The application requests a permit for to deliver programs to foreign broadcast stations pursuant to 47 U.S.C 325(c). Approving the application would permit H&H Group USA LLC to use XEWW to broadcast: ·'a full range of Mandarin Chinese language programming on station XEWW-AM including music, entertainment, weather report. local (LA) traffic report and local Chinese community news." The Commission has previously explained that Section 325(c) is ''intended primarily to address two problems: objectionable programming and harmful interference by foreign stations." I am concerned that approving this application would enhance the ability of the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) to broadcast objectionable political propaganda into America and to interfere in domestic American politics. I respectfully request that the Commission deny the H&H Group's pending application. The application states that the applicants are entirely domestic American persons and entities: .. Applicant. .. will be 100% owned by H&H Group USA LLC, a New York limited liability company. Vivan Huo, a U.S. citizen owns 97% of the membership interests in H&H Group USA LLc:·.

  • Al-Jazeera, Phoenix Satellite Television and the Return of the State: Case Studies in Market Liberalization, Public Sphere and Media Imperialism
    International Journal of Communication 2 (2008), 206-222 1932-8036/20080206 Al-Jazeera, Phoenix Satellite Television and the Return of the State: Case studies in market liberalization, public sphere and media imperialism JOSEPH OLIVER BOYD-BARRETT SHUANG XIE Bowling Green State University The authors analyze two non-U.S. television systems, Al-Jazeera (based in Qatar) and Phoenix Satellite Television (based in Hong Kong, China), with reference to issues of market liberalization, public sphere, and media imperialism. Analysis of its origin and development, ownership, business models and programs suggests that Phoenix TV is a highly successful, China-oriented commercial venture. Inspired in part by the world’s most notorious media mogul, yet mostly compliant with a restrictive political environment, the station has transitioned from commercial, corporate ownership to an entity which state controlled entities have a significant, but not controlling ownership presence. Al-Jazeera started as a hybrid private-state entity, primarily oriented to the Arab and Islamic worlds and secondarily to a larger international audience interested in Arab and Islamic affairs. Its relatively aggressive editorial independence has occasionally alarmed — in diverse ways — domestic, regional and international elites. Its increasing commercial clout has been accompanied by notable adoption of British-style (BBC) formatting amid indications of greater state influence or control, at local and international levels, which may undermine its otherwise promising claim to a genuine public sphere function. By 2007, these two stations were both trending toward a model of Western-style formatting and greater commercial orientation, albeit within distinctive cultural frames. Additional content analysis will help assess whether the process of convergence with Western style entails enhanced “mainstreaming” in terms of content.

Following tense negotiations, Chen left U.S. custody for a Beijing hospital on May 2, having been guaranteed freedom and safety within China. But the blind, self-taught lawyer renounced the deal almost immediately, deciding it was too dangerous to stay in China. This touched off new, ongoing talks aimed at allowing him to travel to the United States with his family (CMB No. 56). The state- controlled media had remained mostly silent on the internationally prominent news story until the carefully crafted outburst of commentary began on May 3. The articles avoided detailed reference to the repressive conditions from which Chen had escaped, and instead focused on condemning the U.S. role, Chen himself, and the collapse of the initial agreement. The Communist Party–owned English-language paper Global Times called Chen a “tool” used by Western forces to work against China’s political system.
