Currently working in San Francisco, I cover business and technology in China, with special emphasis on billionaires and entrepreneurship . A recent graduate from Stanford University's journalism program, I worked in Hong Kong as an anchor and on-camera reporter and traveled throughout China and Asia-Pacific. Prior to that, I was chief business correspondent for China's largest news agency, covering economies, companies, markets and governments. Meanwhile, I wrote columns for China's leading newspapers, such as International Herald Leader, Shanghai Securities Journal, Reference News, etc. While at Stanford University, I covered tech companies and entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley for Peninsula Press, an independent news site powered by Stanford's Graduate Program in Journalism.
