I’m a writer and feminist journalist from Hong Kong. Now judging this year’s Orwell Prize in Political Writing, I’ve spent over a decade reporting from Asia, Europe and the US for The Guardian, BBC, Financial Times, CNN, LA Review of Books, WIRED, The Economist and many more publications. Shortlisted for the Philip Hoare Prize for global creative non-fiction and Georgina Henry Award for Innovation, I’ve also won awards for my reporting from the World Association of News Publishers, among others.

Now based in London, I teach media and communications part-time at Kingston University. I founded New Tide, Britain’s only East and Southeast Asian journalism network, and NüVoices Magazine, run out of the US-based China feminist nonprofit. I’m also contributing editor at Translator, a publication of translated journalism. I’m open to pitches, commissions, speaking engagements and other requests (e.g. workshops, coaching, consultancy, tips, research, collaborations).
