«RFA Asia 1» is a radio station operated by Radio Free Asia (RFA), a non-profit organization that broadcasts news and information to Asia, with a particular focus on China, in a variety of languages, including Chinese.

RFA was established in 1996, with the stated mission to provide accurate and unbiased news to audiences in Asia who are often restricted in their access to free and independent media.

«RFA Asia 1» is a key source of news and information for many people in China, where the government tightly controls the media landscape. The station's coverage includes a wide range of topics, including politics, economics, culture, and human rights.

The station's programming features both news and feature reports, as well as interviews with experts and eyewitnesses. It also broadcasts live coverage of major events in China and the region.

RFA's broadcasts are transmitted via shortwave radio, satellite, and the internet. The organization has offices in Washington, D.C., and throughout Asia, including in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Thailand.

While RFA is a non-profit organization, it has been criticized by the Chinese government for its coverage of sensitive topics, which the government often considers to be hostile. Nevertheless, the station continues to play a vital role in providing information and news to audiences in China and the wider region.
