Ian Johnson (born July 27, 1962) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and researcher whose work straddles "the borderland between history and journalism."[1] He is the author of three books and has contributed numerous articles to the The New York Review of Books,[2] The New York Times,[3] and The Wall Street Journal. He was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities public scholars fellowship, and currently researches and writes about China for the Council on Foreign Relations.

Early Life

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Johnson moved to Florida at fifteen, where he attended Chamberlain High School.[4] He studied Chinese in Beijing from1 984-1985 [5] and later studied in National Taiwan Normal University from 1986 to 1988.

Johnson worked as a full-time journalist at The Independent Florida Alligator, a student-run newspaper at the University of Florida, serving as reporter and later editor in chief. From 1985 to 1986 he was a reporter for The Orlando Sentinel in its DeLand bureau.

Career

In 1988, Johnson moved to West Berlin to study at the Freie University of Berlin. While earning a Master's degree in Sinologie (Chinese Studies), he also freelanced. He covered for the fall of the Berlin Wall [6] for The Baltimore Sun, The St. Petersburg Times, and The Toronto Star.

He joined The Sun full-time in 1992 and moved to New York as a business writer. From 1994 to 1996 he worked as the Beijing bureau chief for The Baltimore Sun and for The Wall Street Journal's Beijing bureau from 1997 to 2001, covering macroeconomics, China's WTO accession, and social issues such as the Falun Gong spiritual movement. He also volunteered at a U.S. registered charity, the Taoist Restoration Society, [7] where he helped the group rebuild destroyed temples. His experiences with civil society and religion resulted in the book Wild Grass: Three Stories of Change in Modern China in 2004. It was later released in paperback and has been translated into several languages.[8]

From 2001 to 2006, he served as The Wall Street Journal’s Germany bureau chief, managing reporters covering EU fiscal policy and European macroeconomics and German politics. He also wrote about social issues such as Islamist terrorism. In 2010, Johnson published A Mosque in Munich: Nazis, the CIA, and the Muslim Brotherhood, a book drawn from interviews and archives [9] about the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe.[10] He conducted research on the book while on a Nieman fellowship at Harvard University.[11]

Johnson moved back to Beijing in 2009 for The Wall Street Journal. In 2010, he left the Journal to work as a free-lancer. He was accredited as a correspondent for The New York Times between 2010 and 2020, writing about religion, urbanization, and other social trends. He also wrote more than 30 essays on China and ran a ten-year project interviewing Chinese public intellectuals for The New York Review of Books.

In 2017, he published The Souls of China: The Return of Religion After Mao. It included a 100-page profile of Early Rain Reformed Church in Chengdu and its pastor Wang Yi (pastor) who was arrested in 2018 for incitement to subvert state power.[12] It also included one of the last in-depth interviews with the popular Chinese spiritual leader Nan Huai-Chin as well as research on Xi Jinping's support for traditional religions, especially Buddhism, when he was head of Zhengding County in the 1980s.[13] The Souls of China was voted one of the best books of the year by The Economist and The Christian Science Monitor.[14][15]

In 2020, he was expelled along with twelve other reporters accredited to U.S. news organizations as part of worsening U.S.-China relations.

Academic Work and Research

While living in China, Johnson served from 2012 to 2018 as an advising editor to The Journal of Asian Studies, where he helped select and edit academic writing that would reach a broader audience. From 2011 to 2019 he taught undergraduate courses accredited through Loyola University Chicago on Chinese religion at The China Center for China Studies.[16] Since 2019, he has been a PhD candidate at Leipzig University,[17] where he is writing a thesis on religious associations.

After being expelled from China, Johnson moved with his family to Singapore for the 2020-2021 academic year because his wife was an artist in residence at the NTU Centre for Contemporary Arts,[18] while he was a visiting fellow at the Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore.[19]

After briefly moving back to Berlin, he moved to New York in 2021 to work at the Studies Department at the Council on Foreign Relations as the Stephen A. Schwarzman senior fellow for China Studies.[20] His current project is The Battle for History in Xi Jinping’s China.[21]

Awards

Johnson won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of China,[22] two awards from the Overseas Press Club,[23] an award from the Society of Professional Journalists, [24] and Stanford University’s Shorenstein Journalism Award in 2016 [25] for his body of work covering Asia. In 2019 he won the American Academy of Religion’s “best in-depth newswriting" award.[26]

His work has been supported by several fellowships and grants, including a Nieman fellowship at Harvard University in 2006-2007, a fellowship from the Open Society Foundation in 2011, several grants from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporter, the Alician Patterson Foundation in 2013, and the 2019 Robert B.
