A sad one for me, as a listener of the weekend Cantonese podcast. It was hard to find (relatively) impartial news reporting from where I live, after what happened in recent years, and its closure means one less option to listen to.
Does BBC Chinese still have radio output after its Mandarin shortwave service closed? Or they mean the Cantonese show Newsweek 時事一周 which already moved online?
