China to Tibetan radio: We're jammin'

China is jammin', but not in a way that Bob "We're Jammin'" Marley might approve of.
The authorities are jamming signals of the Voice of Tibet radio station by beaming music, drumming and noise. The jamming also affects those trying to listen in India, Nepal and Europe. Since when is China allowed decide what Europeans can listen to?
The station has irked Beijing by its coverage of recent unrest in Tibet. As usual the Chinese government has made no comment either confirming or denying that it is deliberately interfering with broadcast signals.
Voice of Tibet claims to offer unbiased information for people in the region - although China's state TV channel also claims a monopoly on impartiality.
Sometimes I think I'm the only impartial source of information about Tibet and all the rest...
