At about 1215 UTC on Monday the 12th day of August 2024, I tuned in to China Radio International, broadcasting on 11650 kHz in the English language.
The signal was coming from the Urumqi Hutubi 500 kW transmitter in China. (Short Wave Info 2023)

The overall reception of China Radio International was good. The signal strength was very strong and there was no fading of the signal. There was no interference from other stations.
