Demand for high-quality info on China will only grow

Being a reporter who has written about China in English for seven years, I have seen many colleagues leave this profession.

With professional English proficiency and in-depth knowledge of the Chinese economy and society, many of them decided to work for multinational corporations, public relations agencies or financial institutions.

Their choices are understandable as one could easily get the feeling that the profession is in decline when the entire print media industry is challenged by the rise of new media and is struggling to adapt to the digital age.
