Wall Street Journal reporter Chao Deng is now a reporter in its Cairo bureau.
She has been a China correspondent for The Journal in Taipei. Previously she was based in Beijing, covering China’s economy and financial system. She has written on everything from the U.S.-China trade war, bank defaults and the Chinese labor market, to Chinese foreign policy, rising nationalism and the coronavirus pandemic.
Last year, Deng won the Livingston Award for international reporting for “On the Front Lines in Wuhan,” a remarkable series of reports which, despite the Chinese government’s attempts to silence her, tells the complex and rapidly evolving story on the ground at the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in the early stages of the crisis.
