China's economic rise takes a prominent place in the headlines, but what — and who — is behind the news that we read? What goes into reporting on some of the most important stories today? Several generations of Financial Times correspondents will share their experiences of reporting on the evolution of China's economy.
Panelists will include Financial Times correspondents Richard McGregor, Leslie Hook, Geoff Dyer, James Kynge, and David Pilling, in discussion with Orville Schell, Arthur Ross Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations.
Geoff Dyer has worked for the Financial Times for over a decade in China, Brazil, the UK, and now the US, where he writes about American foreign policy. He was the FT's Bureau Chief in Beijing from 2008 to 2011, following three years working for the paper in Shanghai. He has also been the paper’s Brazil Bureau Chief and covered the healthcare industry. Dyer is the author of Contest of the Century: The New Era of Competition with China, to be published in the US by Knopf in February, 2014. He studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge University, and at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Bologna and Washington, D.C., where he was supported by a Fulbright award.

From 2010 to 2013, she worked as a Beijing correspondent for the Financial Times, covering energy and commodities. Prior to joining the FT in 2010, she was an editorial page writer for The Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong for three years. Hook holds a bachelor’s degree in East Asian Studies from Princeton University, and also studied Mandarin Chinese at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

Over the past 28 years, Kynge has been a correspondent based in Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Mongolia, former Soviet Central Asia, and Hong Kong.
