Firedrake jamming Voice of America's Mandarin service

China's Firedrake Jammer jammin' away at 15.250MHz - which is consistent with the Voice of America's service that is broadcast in Mandarin at the time of recording:

You can hear the jammer come in strong at the 52 sec. mark. It's target, VOA, is fading in and out underneath the jammer's music.

The radio is a Sangean ATS 505.

@YouDuck2345 VOA in Chinese. Actually VOA in Chinese has is not so objective on views in the news. I really like VOA in English program with less political purpose.

Voice of America? Can't have that; it's Western culture. Here, listen to this music while you waste away.

A little more finesse than Castro uses on Radio Marti ... guess the Chinese have more 'budget' to blow than the dirt-poor Cubans under Castro's thumb ...
