Claudia Chong has been hired by The Information to cover artificial intelligence and data centers in China.
She also may report on topics including chip smuggling and crypto.
Chong joins The Information from S-RM, a UK-based risk advisory firm where she specialized in APAC disputes, investigations, and corporate due diligence.
Prior to that, she worked on ByteDance’s LLM training operations in Singapore and spent nearly six years as a correspondent at The Business Times, the premier business publication in Southeast Asia, covering venture capital, tech, and private wealth across the region.
Her journalistic work earned her a Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) Media Award for Excellence in 2024 for the investigation into Singapore’s largest money laundering scandal.
