Sony CFD-S350 boombox is manufactured in China (PRC). Nonetheless, I can’t recommend Sony CFD-S350 FM STEREO/AM Boombox Radio for use in China. AM Band does not work correctly in People’s Republic of China. There are approximately 300 FM/AM radio stations broadcasting in China today. FM/AM over-the-air radio programming subjects include: children’s programs, foreign language, opera, education, women’s programs, finance, medical and health, short stories, talk shows, traditional/classical music, lifestyle, crosstalk, sports, weather updates, entertainment game programs, music and traffic news. Some popular Chinese radio stations include: Beijing Traffic Radio FM 103.9 MHz, Beijing Entertainment Radio FM 87.6MHz, Beijing News Radio FM 100.6 MHz/AM 828 kHz, CNR-1 The Voice of China FM 106.1 MHz, China Radio International FM 90.5 MHz and Beijing Music Radio FM 97.4 MHz. Sony CFD-S350 boombox’s fixed FM Band channel step tuning interval of .1 MHz tunes to any FM Band broadcast frequency in desired target destination. Sony CFD-S350 boombox’s default AM Band channel step tuning interval can’t be changed from 10 kHz to 9 kHz to receive AM Band stations competently in China. Sony CFD-S350 boombox can’t tune in the following AM Band frequencies in China: 531 kHz, 549 kHz, 558 kHz, 567 kHz, 576 kHz, 585 kHz, 594 kHz, 603 kHz, 612 kHz, 621 kHz, 639 kHz, 648 kHz, 657 kHz, 675 kHz, 684 kHz, 693 kHz, 702 kHz, 711 kHz, 729 kHz, 738 kHz, 747 kHz, 756 kHz, 765 kHz, 774 kHz, 783 kHz, 792 kHz, 801 kHz, 819 kHz, 828 kHz, 837 kHz, 846 kHz, 855 kHz, 864 kHz, 873 kHz, 882 kHz, 891 kHz, 909 kHz, 918 kHz, 927 kHz, 936 kHz, 945 kHz, 954 kHz, 963 kHz, 972 kHz, 981 kHz, 999 kHz, 1008 kHz, 1017 kHz, 1026 kHz, 1035 kHz, 1044 kHz, 1053 kHz, 1062 kHz, 1071 kHz, 1089 kHz, 1098 kHz, 1107 kHz, 1116 kHz, 1125 kHz, 1134 kHz, 1143 kHz, 1152 kHz, 1161 kHz, 1179 kHz, 1188 kHz, 1197 kHz, 1206 kHz, 1215 kHz, 1224 kHz, 1233 kHz, 1242 kHz, 1251 kHz, 1269 kHz, 1278 kHz, 1287 kHz, 1296 kHz, 1305 kHz, 1314 kHz, 1323 kHz, 1332 kHz, 1341 kHz, 1359 kHz, 1368 kHz, 1377 kHz, 1386 kHz, 1395 kHz, 1404 kHz, 1413 kHz, 1422 kHz, 1431 kHz, 1449 kHz, 1458 kHz, 1467 kHz, 1476 kHz, 1485 kHz, 1494 kHz, 1503 kHz, 1512 kHz, 1521 kHz, 1539 kHz, 1548 kHz, 1557 kHz, 1566 kHz, 1575 kHz, 1584 kHz, 1593 kHz, 1602 kHz, 1611 kHz, 1629 kHz, 1638 kHz, 1647 kHz, 1656 kHz, 1665 kHz, 1674 kHz, 1683 kHz, 1692 kHz and 1701 kHz. Sony CFD-S350 boombox tunes in the following FM Band frequencies: 87.6 MHz, 87.8 MHz, 88.2 MHz, 88.4 MHz, 88.6 MHz, 88.8 MHz, 89.2 MHz, 89.4 MHz, 89.6 MHz, 89.8 MHz, 90.2 MHz, 90.4 MHz, 90.6 MHz, 90.8 MHz, 91.2 MHz, 91.4 MHz, 91.6 MHz, 91.8 MHz, 92.2 MHz, 92.4 MHz, 92.6 MHz, 92.8 MHz, 93.2 MHz, 93.4 MHz, 93.6 MHz, 93.8 MHz, 94.2 MHz, 94.4 MHz, 94.6 MHz, 94.8 MHz, 95.2 MHz, 95.4 MHz, 95.6 MHz, 95.8 MHz, 96.2 MHz, 96.4 MHz, 96.6 MHz, 96.8 MHz, 97.2 MHz, 97.4 MHz, 97.6 MHz, 97.8 MHz, 98.2 MHz, 98.4 MHz, 98.6 MHz, 98.8 MHz, 99.2 MHz, 99.4 MHz, 99.6 MHz, 99.8 MHz, 100.2 MHz, 100.4 MHz, 100.6 MHz, 100.8 MHz, 101.2 MHz, 101.4 MHz, 101.6 MHz, 101.8 MHz, 102.2 MHz, 102.4 MHz, 102.6 MHz, 102.8 MHz, 103.2 MHz, 103.4 MHz, 103.6 MHz, 103.8 MHz, 104.2 MHz, 104.4 MHz, 104.6 MHz, 104.8 MHz, 105.2 MHz, 105.4 MHz, 105.6 MHz, 105.8 MHz, 106.2 MHz, 106.4 MHz, 106.6 MHz, 106.8 MHz, 107.2 MHz, 107.4 MHz, 107.6 MHz, 107.8 MHz in China or region of interest separating FM Band frequencies at 100 kHz or .1 MHz intervals. Sony CFD-S350 boombox works in China with six 1.5V D alkaline batteries. Sony CFD-S350 boombox is not the correct product category for shortwave radio listening. Sony CFD-S350 boombox does not feature international shortwave reception capacity and only stores up to 30 total FM/AM stations in memory. Sony ICF-SW7600GR World Band Radio is better selection for shortwave radio listening in China because it features 3-inch (77mm) hi-fi stereo speaker, 380mW stereo amplifier output power, 4 AA battery operation, AC or DC power options, DC In Power Jack, auto-switching AC/DC power supply, Single-Side Band reception, adjustable AM Band channel step tuning interval, Long Wave reception, 10-Key direct access tuning, PLL Quartz Frequency Synthesized Tuning, digital tuner, superheterodyne circuit tuning, 100 station memory presets, synchronous detection circuitry, auto scan tuning, memory scan tuning, microprocessor controlled tuning, nonvolatile memory, FM/SW telescopic antenna, ferrite bar LW/AM antenna, external compact shortwave antenna, 24-hour world time clock/dual clock displays time in different cities around world, backlit LCD for nighttime tuning, alarm clock with dual standby features, sleep timer, 3.5mm Stereo Headphone Jack, 3.5mm Line Output Jack for connection to portable tape recorder, shortwave guide booklet, 1 kHz channel step tuning and continuous shortwave radio coverage between 150-29,999 kHz for international travel portable audio listening. If you are interested in listening to major Chinese radio broadcasters such as “China Radio International” on shortwave radio, Sony ICF-SW7600GR World Band Portable Radio is best choice for this application. Sony ICF-SW7600GR World Band Portable Radio enables user to listen to domestic FM, shortwave or Medium Wave radio broadcasts in region of interest.
