"I've been listening to RFA-Cantonese for six years. At work, I listen to Hong Kong Radio's Storm 881, and at home I listen to RFA-Cantonese. Now that the Hong Kong talk show host Albert Chang has been forced out, I rely only on your program for unbiased political news."—RFA Cantonese listener from Shenzhen, China

"My neighbors in our ally brought out their chairs to listen to RFA-Cantonese together under the open sky. Your Cantonese broadcasting has rich contents, and we have learned many things from you."—Listener in Shenzhen, China

"I've been listening to RFA for two years. I now have a totally different view on how important democracy is for China. My classmates, on the other hand, have been brainwashed by the government's educational apparatus. I want to help promote democracy in China, but I don't know where to start."—Caller in Guangdong Province, China, May 2004

"Some Chinese people don't think that the United States has the right to condemn China's government policy on human rights… Rights are common with people all over the world, not given or composed by Americans. Through you, I want to tell all Chinese that human rights are our own business. They are of us and for us, and we must fight to take them back from the communist power, like the people in Eastern Europe did... If American's word is right, why don't they listen to it?"—RFA Cantonese service listener
