What I Cover

I have covered a wide range of issues, including China’s Covid lockdowns and the rare protests against them, as well as the geopolitical tensions across the Taiwan Strait. I’m particularly interested in stories about shifting identities in societies and how that affects different generations. Since I moved from Beijing to Taiwan in 2020, much of my work has focused on the social changes, history and culture of the island democracy.

My Background

I grew up in Taiwan and studied political science, Chinese literature and journalism at National Taiwan University in Taipei. I started off as an assistant editor for The Times’s Chinese-language website in Beijing in 2016. Later I became a social media editor and a writer of news briefings and articles for the Chinese site. In 2020, I became a reporter and researcher for The Times in Taiwan, covering China and Taiwan in English.

Journalistic Ethics

As a Times journalist, I am committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. When I am working, I always identify myself as a reporter for The Times. I pay attention to accuracy and fact-checking.
