On December 4, 2025, the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents in the United States (AFPC-USA) and the international correspondents’ community gathered at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. for the 2025 #ForeignPressAwards Gala. We were honored to recognize @mitchellreports (@NBCNews ) with the Honorary Foreign Press Award for her lifetime contribution to international journalism, and @AJEnglish with the Press Freedom Award for its unwavering commitment to independent reporting and the defense of press freedom. This year’s Prize of Excellence awards celebrated Brooke Masters (@FT), James Longman (@ABC ), @jimsciutto (@CNN ), Tim Stenovec (@business), @TreyYingst (@FoxNews), @weijia (@CBSNews / White House Correspondents’ Association President), and @yarotrof (@WSJ ) for their distinguished reporting and impact on global understanding. We were also proud to present our 2025 Scholarship Awards to outstanding emerging international journalists: @sofiatomacruz , @safhomin and Ava Hu. Our gratitude goes as well to the speakers and partners who joined us on stage and supported this year’s Foreign Press Awards: lnkd.in/eZ7hEF8X #ForeignPressAwards #ForeignPress

China now produces more than 30% of the world’s manufactured goods—more than the U.S., Germany, and South Korea combined. In AFPC-USA’s latest learning takeaways, economist Mariko Watanabe examines how China’s industrial planning system helped build that scale, but also how it is fueling overcapacity, trade distortions, and growing pressure across global markets. From electric vehicles and solar panels to steel and supply chains, the effects are being felt far beyond China. This conversation, produced in partnership with the Hinrich Foundation and hosted by Roseanne Gerin, explores why China’s industrial catalog matters, how it shapes investment decisions, and what it means for the future of global trade, developing economies, and the rules-based trading system.

Covering the U.S. economy in 2026 requires moving beyond headline indicators and understanding how economic signals translate unevenly across American society.

Important statement here from @ForeignPressUSA regarding proposed new rules that would make it much more difficult for foreign outlets to bring correspondents to cover the US

AFPC-USA urgently calls on the federal government to withdraw new proposed regulations on visas for foreign media based in the United States that will significantly harm U.S. leadership on free speech, a free press, and freedom of expression.
