Everybody on the leftist web has prior knowledge of Radio Free Asia.
Even just look at Wikipedia: "Based on Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty....with the stated aim of "promoting democratic values and human rights", and countering the narratives and monopoly on information distribution of the Chinese Communist Party, as well as providing media reports about the North Korean government.... Radio Free Europe was a Cold War anti-communist outlet, "Founded during the Cold War, RFE began in 1949 targeting Soviet satellite states,[8] while RL, established in 1951, focused on the Soviet Union. Initially funded covertly by the CIA..."... Both are owned by "USAGM... considered an arm of U.S. diplomacy."
Call me stupid but I don't understand what it is you're arguing. It doesn't seem to have any connection to the claims made here.
Be that as it may, have a nice day, good sir/ma'am.
That it is a well-known fact that Radio Free Asia is a branch of the USA's government that exists to smear the USA's geopolitical rivals.
