During the Japanese invasion in 1937, CBS moved with the government to
a new location in Hankou, and then to Chongqing, to continue broadcasting.
After the end of WWII, the station returned along with the Kuomintang
government to Nanjing. Four years later, it again followed the KMT government
when it moved to Taipei, Taiwan.
Between 1996 and 1998, the Central Broadcasting System merged with the international department of the Broadcasting Corporation of China (BCC). Started broadcasting to listeners around the world under the call signs "Radio Taipei International" and "The Voice of Asia." Later both stations combined under a unified call sign, "Radio Taipei International”. "Radio Taiwan International" reflects the radio station's true mission as the national broadcaster of Taiwan.
