A number of new radio astronomy facilities are being planned and built in China, the host country for the 2014 URSI GASS. The 65-m SHAO radio telescope has been commissioned recently, and the massive FAST telescope is under construction. Projects in the pipeline include the 110-m QTT steerable dish, and the 2-element space VLBI mission planned by SHAO. This session will highlight developments in radio astronomy in China.
