Since he was confirmed as CEO in a party-line vote, Pack has fired the heads of all 4 news outlets under his agency as well as the boards governing them.

Coinciding with the outbreak of the coronavirus in China, Radio Free Asia's Mandarin service Facebook page had a nearly 400 percent increase in engagement and 800 percent increase in video views in the first three months of this year in comparison with the last three months of 2019, according to Radio Free Asia data.

Voice of America and the U.S.-funded broadcasters have enjoyed strong bipartisan support for decades, and Pack's actions have raised alarms on both sides of the aisle in Congress. Last week, a bipartisan group of seven senators — who oversee funding for the U.S. global media outlets — wrote a sharply-worded letter to Pack criticizing him for failing to consult with Congress and for the recent firings.

Pack responded to the letter from the senators, promising a collaborative relationship with Congress and to uphold the “independence” of journalists at the U.S.-funded networks.
