I think, is not easily block SW waves, and it is common to be heard wherever there are important world have radio SW.

I asked the question to see if anyone else has used a shortwave radio I can't test the radios in the store so if I buy, and it doesn't work very well, I just burnt my cash!
If You test at store maybe cannot.no have wave ,because thats store buildings using concrete ,so You can try at open sky, or at home use concrete can block wave too

I am sure any kind of political radio station is blocked. Other radio stations like the BBC that often deal with sensitive issues will probably be blocked also. If you manage to receive any English radio stations that are not just some Chinese with bad English trying to brainwash, PM me.
do you really want to be caught in china with a radio that gets intl radio? every time they report on dissidents they claim they were using SW to communicate with outside influences

this have a litter exageration , evey day millions people use radio to listen international radion stations. students listen for study english, old man listen for know foreign informations.
i use the internet you can get any radio station you want
Why cant you use the internet and get podcasts of radio stations? I havn't tried but bat22 suggests it will work. Does the great firewall block such things and if that is the case is it just then a matter to get a VPN? That way you dont need to go to the expense of buying a radio.
SW radio in general is never scrambled, Chinese government will not randomize the SW Radio, all depends from where lit,
i use internet radio from my computer or itunes software. 
use the internet type in 640 kfi or you can go to 790 kabc just type these in thier live streaming i also watch tv such as fox cnn etc use justin,tv use wifi for good streaming when i use the wireless sometimes streams well smetimes on and off good luck
sorry i am from the us and only know the us stations i listen to every night but justin.tv does get some bbc stations but you do need wifi hope that helps

I was thinking it may be a way of getting away from the computer!!
