Radio stations in Chinese

Chinese radio is anchored almost entirely in China, which carries about 90% of the 1,229 stations on this shelf. The rest are scattered thinly through Taiwan, Hong Kong SAR China and United States, and those scattered entries are the reason a language shelf is worth having: a country hub would never put them next to each other.

The eight countries below cover all but 20 of this shelf. Those 20 broadcast from elsewhere and fall outside the snapshot's country breakdown, which is capped.

The median here is 128 kbps while only 11% of the shelf reaches 128 kbps, which means a small group of high rate streams and a long tail below them. On a shelf that crosses several countries, that usually reflects one country hosting well and the others not.
