Jessie Lau is a writer, freelance journalist, editor & artist

Hi thereI’m a writer and journalist from Hong Kong, now based in London. My work has appeared in The Guardian, CNN, The Economist, WIRED and many others. A generalist with expertise on China and Asia, I have over a decade of media experience. Now, I gravitate towards stories exploring the intersections of human rights, politics and culture. I fronted the BBC documentary “China’s Silenced Feminist” and executive-produced the Channel 4 News film “China’s Feminist Fightback." Formerly based in Beijing and California, I’m editor-in-chief and board member at NüVoices, a non-profit amplifying gender minorities working on China subjects. Commissions and cold calls are welcome.
