About Me

I’m a non-fiction writer covering Chinese politics, technology, and society. I covered Asia technology at The New York Times. My writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Atlantic, Foreign Affairs, The LA Review of Books, The Wire China, The China Project, Nikkei Asia, The Point, Quillette, and others. Born and partly raised in Tokyo, I occasionally write about Japan and am fluent in Mandarin and Japanese.

I also host Into Asia, a podcast on politics, culture, and society across East Asia with the writer Ian Buruma. Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
