From DigiDX 2/28/16 0200z
6070 kHz
Several reports have come in from SWLs over the last few months where having sent a reception report to China Radio International they have been told that no QSL cards can be send out due to financial difficulty. CRI have in the past been very quick at sending QSL cards, magazines and other items to listeners so this is a big departure from the station which dominates the shortwave bands. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come at CRI with shortwave broadcasts in future also being dropped due to financial difficulty. DigiDX will bring any more news on this that comes out of CRI over the next few months.

China is now feeling the effects of trying to be the biggest and best in the world. Much of the new construction there is being built with paper and not 'real' money. Over all they are in a major financial pinch and of course that doesn't even mention the fact that their money is way over valued.
When the money is gone can war be far behind? We can only wait until the next shoe drops...

I am not 100% sure, but I believe they are behind the Firedrake jammer. Maybe if they lighten up on their jamming budget, they may be able to lessen their financial difficulties.
