Description
法广 is the Chinese-language service of Radio France Internationale, published from France by France Médias Monde. Its own site carries news, politics, culture and sport for Chinese-speaking audiences, and publishes its audio as dated programmes and replays rather than as a continuous music stream. It runs two editions of the same service, one in simplified characters and one in traditional characters.

Contact route
a contact form the service links from the foot of its own pages as 与法广联系, reaching this service by name. The form is hosted on the parent group's own domain rather than on the service's, which is how France Médias Monde routes contact for all its brands.

Kind
a produced service of an international public broadcaster. The stream this row carries announced itself as RFI chinois and was serving a replay feed rather than live output when it was read.

|
Worth knowing
the row held no homepage at all and was bound from two directions at once. RFI's own Chinese page carries the exact title this row is filed under, 法国国际广播电台, and the stream it points at announces RFI chinois and was playing an RFI Chinese replay in the same moment.

Where
Paris, France; RFI's Chinese service's own "如何收听法广" page names only generic FM and medium wave receivers, the website, podcast platforms, Wi-Fi radios, the RFI apps and dial-in numbers through Orange in Africa and AudioNow in the United States, and gives no frequency of its own, with no MHz or kHz figure anywhere in the page body

法国国际广播电台 RFI's own Chinese site; rfi.fr returns a France Medias Monde WAF 403 to every request from my connection, so it was read in the operator's browser, which cleared it at once | 2026 |
What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.

The row held no homepage. This is the service's own page. Read from RFI's own pages, not inferred from its Vietnamese sibling row. https://www.rfi.fr/cn/ answers 200 with the title '法广 - 时事与新闻直播 - RFI - 法国国际广播电台', which carries this row's title exactly, and names France Médias Monde as the publisher in its own footer. The stored stream independently announced 'RFI chinois64' and was serving 'rfi replay chinois 1' at the same moment, so the page and the audio agree. |

Mandarin Chinese. The service publishes a simplified-character edition, which this row points at, and a separate traditional-character edition of the same service, so the script is an edition rather than a different language. Read from RFI's own pages, not inferred from its Vietnamese sibling row. https://www.rfi.fr/cn/ answers 200 with the title '法广 - 时事与新闻直播 - RFI - 法国国际广播电台', which carries this row's title exactly, and names France Médias Monde as the publisher in its own footer. The stored stream independently announced 'RFI chinois64' and was serving 'rfi replay chinois 1' at the same moment, so the page and the audio agree. |
| audience country code |
CN
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
The country this service is made for, recorded separately from where it is published. Its own description says it follows French, Chinese and world events for Chinese speakers, and it is produced in France by France Médias Monde, so country_code stays FR and the audience goes here. This is the same shape as RFI's Vietnamese service, which was filed under Vietnam until the pair of fields could hold both halves of it. Read from RFI's own pages, not inferred from its Vietnamese sibling row. https://www.rfi.fr/cn/ answers 200 with the title '法广 - 时事与新闻直播 - RFI - 法国国际广播电台', which carries this row's title exactly, and names France Médias Monde as the publisher in its own footer. The stored stream independently announced 'RFI chinois64' and was serving 'rfi replay chinois 1' at the same moment, so the page and the audio agree. |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| a contact page link | the only route is on the parent group's domain, not this service's own, and this catalogue links a station to its own door rather than to somebody else's.
source |
| the programme names and presenter credits carried on its own site | they were not read for this entry, so recording them would be asserting more than was checked. The service's own audio index is where they are.
source |
| RFI's French network frequencies | they belong to RFI as a whole and nothing on the Chinese service's own pages says this service is carried on them, which matches what the briefing warned about its sister service

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
