In an effort to continue to chop the budget, the BBC is closing five of their worldwide services, including one that has been in operation since 1941. The BBC's Mandarin Service, targeting China, will be one of the closures, ending a service started during World War II when most of China was occupied by Japanese Imperial forces. It later transitioned into a news service aimed at the Communist nation, and then became one of the focal points during the pro-Democracy movement in 1989. The BBC Russian Service has been in operation since 1946, following the end of World War II, targeting then-Soviet listeners as the Cold War was beginning. Also scheduled to close: the BBC Caribbean services that targeted listeners in Cuba, the Vietnamese radio service that began operations in 1952, and the Azerbajani broadcasts. The services will, however, remain on the internet with a limited service available. The closure of the five BBC World Services operations is expected to save $74 million annually, and is expected to impact 30 million worldwide listeners in the affected nations.
