Radio Corporation of China

Radio Corporation of China (中國無線電公司) was the first radio station in China.

History

It was founded in January 1923 by New Zealander Ernest George Hayward Osborn.[1] It was not a radio station run by Chinese citizens, and was shut down by the Northern warlords before 1927.[1]

Influence

Radio stations became a new communication method, and the first Chinese-run radio station was established in Harbin. It went into operation in October 1926. Privately run stations were established in Shanghai in March 1927.[1]

The technology became vital to the struggle between the Communist Party of China and the Nationalist Party. The first major Chinese radio station established with a legit infrastructure was the Central Broadcasting System in 1928 by the Nationalist Party.[1] The CPC would establish the Yan'an Xinhua Broadcasting Station in 1940.
