Some of the most consequential shifts in technology—across e-commerce, automotive, social media, AI, and beyond—are happening in China. Wired seeks a writer to cover this incredibly consequential landscape, with a particular focus on how China shapes technology for the entire world, and the US response to its rising dominance.
You’ll cover China-based companies with a major US presence, like ByteDance, Temu, and Shein, as well as those that broker influence in other parts of the world. You’ll break news about their most consequential actions, the governmental policies that enable or curtail them, and their impact on competitors and consumers alike. You’ll cover China’s tech-adjacent scientific and research communities, and track the country’s continued economic and technological ascent. You will bring a deep stable of sources to the role and be able to deliver breaking news and scoops.
You’ll also cover the increasingly aggressive US response to perceived threats from China, and the people and communities impacted by those efforts. You’ll cover China through a measured lens, cutting through hype and anxiety to find the human stories at the center of a critical beat. You’ll have lots of room to roam, and will work closely with editors to identify the sharpest angles on the most pressing stories in China and beyond.
This role reports to the Director, Business & Industry and is part of a growing and increasingly global newsroom of smart, kind, nerdy, and well-informed colleagues who are always brimming with ideas and eager to help each other out.
