I'm thrilled to be back in Taiwan, where I'll be based for the coming years as The Economist's Chief China Correspondent & Drum Tower podcast co-host. I'll be jointly leading our China coverage from here, focusing on foreign policy, the PLA, Taiwan and Chinese influence abroad.

Why are some in Germany calling for a change of approach in the face of a second China shock? @DSORennie joins @JNBPage on “Drum Tower”. Listen now economist.com/podcasts/2025/…

In the latest Drum Tower podcast, I'm joined by former co-host @DSORennie to ask if Germany's big bet on China is turning into a costly mistake. We also reminisce about the VW Santana and hear from Johannes Volkmann, German MP & grandson of Helmut Kohl. economist.com/podcasts/2025/…

The Economist is looking for a China Researcher/News Assistant in Taiwan. This is a great opportunity for a Mandarin-speaking journalist seeking to hone their skills with one of the best China teams in the business. Details are in the link. telummedia.com/jobs/view/taiw…

Can China lead the world on climate action? In a 6-part special report in this week's Economist, Gabriel Crossley and I explore how China became the world's green energy superpower and why it has reached a tipping point in its approach to climate change economist.com/special-report…

Deal or no deal? In this week's Drum Tower podcast from The Economist, @sarah_wu_ and I discuss the Xi-Trump meeting and whether their 1-year trade war truce can hold. Huge thanks to @Jonczin, former CIA China analyst & NSC China director, for joining us economist.com/podcasts/2025/…

What is Taiwan's Plan B? In the latest Economist, I look into how Taiwan is hedging for the risk that America abandons it. Rubio says U.S. policy towards the island won't change for a trade deal. The question is whether Donald Trump feels the same way. economist.com/asia/2025/10/2…

Throuple trouble. On the latest Drum Tower podcast, @sarah_wu_ and I examine why China's unhappy with Russia's closening ties to North Korea—and what Beijing is doing about it. @TedPlafker joins to talk about his recent trip to the North Korean border. economist.com/podcasts/2025/…

The toxic cycle of China-America trade talks continues. For the latest issue of The Economist, I dug into how channels of communication have changed since Trump 1.0, why they're now malfunctioning and why it's so hard to find a reliable go-between. economist.com/china/2025/10/…

In this week's Drum Tower podcast, my co-host @sarah_wu_ takes a ride in a flying car and chats with me about China's "low-altitude economy". Could Chinese skies soon be buzzing with aerial taxis and delivery drones? economist.com/podcasts/2025/…

In this week's Briefing, @NoahSneider also shows that as talk of another Kim-Trump summit intensifies, North Korea is becoming even more repressive and threatening to the world. economist.com/interactive/br…

For this week's Economist, @TedPlafker and I explore China's relations with North Korea. We found that China is boosting economic ties again. But not because it is ok with North Korean nukes. It seems worried about Russia's growing sway over Kim Jong Un economist.com/china/2025/09/…

Just as India's showdown with Pakistan was spiralling out of control, it seems to be coming to a halt. After four days of escalating military clashes, they have agreed to a ceasefire. But will it hold? My story from Delhi with @cyalm in Islamabad economist.com/asia/2025/05/1…

This India-Pakistan crisis looks unlike previous ones. With fighting at its worst since 1999, both are hitting military sites far beyond Kashmir. They're using drones and other high-end imported arms. And now the nuclear signalling has begun. With @cyalm economist.com/asia/2025/05/0…

How a plan to sell two ports on the Panama Canal dragged Hong Kong's richest man into the US-China rivalry. On this week's Drum Tower podcast from The Economist, I join @EmmaIrving to explore why and how Xi Jinping might block the $23bn deal econ.st/4k7YB73

Can India and Pakistan control a new cycle of escalation? Our take in this week's Economist on the biggest Indian aerial attack on its neighbour in more than 50 years. By @shashj in London, @cyalm in Islamabad and me in Delhi. economist.com/asia/2025/05/0…

Are India and Pakistan heading for war? For this week's Economist, @cyalm and I looked at India's options for military strikes and Pakistan's likely response. The short version: this standoff could be more perilous than the last major one, in 2019 economist.com/asia/2025/05/0…

How will India respond to last week's Kashmir attack? For The Economist, I look at India's options for military strikes on Pakistan. Modi faces public pressure to go beyond a 2019 airstrike. But some advisers want a calibrated response to avoid escalation economist.com/asia/2025/04/2…

What happened to the China hawks? For the latest Economist, I look at the waning influence of conventional China hawks around Trump despite the trade war. His broader China goals are unclear but among advisers, homeland-focused "restrainers" are ascendant econ.st/3EqbKsX
