WHYNOT, or Wainao (simplified Chinese: 歪脑; traditional Chinese: 歪腦; pinyin: Wāi Nǎo; lit. 'crooked mind'), is a Chinese-language news magazine affiliated to Radio Free Asia, headquartered in Washington, D.C., USA.[2][3]

Overview[edit]

WHYNOT is funded by the United States Agency for Global Media through special public funds[4] and mainly spreads liberal values to youth groups in the Chinese-speaking world. Different from Radio Free Asia, the style and themes of WHYNOT are close to the needs and concerns of young people, including feminism, LGBT rights, vegetarianism, etc.

Global Times commented that this project was directly affected by the "Strategic Competition Act of 2021" passes by the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in April 2021, which allocated US$1.5 billion for the "Hedge China Impact Fund".
