radio broadcasts in chinese a "spiritual invasion plan that only from bobe Ronitor)

sounded like a noble idea.

"hut the true intention of the hhas strengthening its

broadcasting to china is to intensify its comprehensive invasive war

against socialist countries in spirit and ideology," the newspaper

said.

although it was once illegal, millions of chinese now tune in the

bbc and the voice of america daily as often their only sources of

miensûred news. the government media has criticized these radic

services in the past, but has not done so recently.

service.

"in fact, everyone knows the cold war hasnt completely ended,

the yangcheng evening news said. "isnt the spiritual invasion plan

being implemented by the bbc a genuine cold war?"

the newspaper charged the bbcs objective "is just to sell their

view of values to others by means of the modern news media."

"we cant be too naive," it said. "when we hear information

about getting free gifts from the skies, we should distinguish

between truth and falsehood and beauty and ugliness.
