R.F.A.

The authorities in China have long accused Radio Free Asia, also known as R.F.A., of being a front for the U.S. government.

In its statement, the news organization noted that officials in Hong Kong had also recently referred to R.F.A. as a “foreign force” in the context of how it covered the discussion over the new security law.

“The government’s efforts to deter and discourage R.F.A. and our esteemed media colleagues only further underscore the need for free press in Cambodia,” Mr. Mahajan said in an email.

But we remain concerned about other reporters at R.F.A. with family in China finding themselves in the same situation.

������ happens instead is that when we need a leader, I’ll send out an email, which is called an R.F.A. — request for assignment — to the whole company, with a deadline of one or two weeks.
