April 10, 2025 (Washington D.C.) – Today, the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong (CFHK) Foundation joined with a coalition of organizations that advocate for freedom and human rights in China to oppose the Trump Administration’s decision to terminate U.S. funding for Radio Free Asia.
The statement is signed by an array of organizations dedicated to opposing the Chinese Communist Party’s repression of all people living in the People’s Republic of China including Hong Kongers, Uyghurs, Tibetans, and so many others. The statement reads:
“We are writing to express our strong opposition to the Trump Administration’s decision to terminate U.S. funding for Radio Free Asia (RFA). RFA serves as a critical source of information on the situation in the PRC and is an effective counter to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) aggression and malign influence in the Indo-Pacific region. We call on the Trump Administration and members of Congress to restore U.S. funding for RFA as soon as possible before irreparable harm is done.”
The organizations that co-signed the statement include:
Alliance for Citizens’ Rights
Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD)
Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong (CFHK) Foundation
