It is all about "price/performance", or cost per prospective listener.
The Ministries of Propaganda have decided to use their funds for other
purposes than HF broadcast.

There's still a lot of Africa and some Asian countries e.g. parts of
rural India and rural Bangladesh who have no mains electricity,
internet or money for TVRO satellite equipment, where a battery powered
HF receiver is about all they can have. Probably the same applies to a
fair amount of rural China, too, and certainly to rural North Korea,
where the censorship is heavy. But whether the number of listeners and
their influence is enough to justify super power HFBC is another
matter. Depends on just how much one figures the propaganda is worth.
Fifty years ago, practically every newly independent nation 'HAD' to
have its HFBC for the 'Voice of Swazibanana' or whatever, in the same
way as they 'HAD' to have an national airline flying internationally.
Now it seems to be realised that these, in general, can't be afforded.
