I primarily focus on business and social issues in China, the world’s second largest economy and a growing geopolitical power.
I joined The Times in 2018, working in Beijing, and moved to the Seoul newsroom in 2022. I was part of a team that won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in public service for coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.
As a Times journalist, I adhere to The Times’s ethics guidelines. I want all of my work to be accurate, fair and balanced. I make every effort to understand issues from multiple angles, and when I am working, I always identify myself as a reporter for The Times.
