I began my writing career in China more than two decades ago, first as a freelancer and later as an accredited journalist in Newsweek’s Beijing bureau.

After six years in China, I moved back to the U.S. and made Philadelphia my home.

I worked as a staff reporter at the Philadelphia Inquirer, a business reporter for the News Journal in Wilmington, Delaware, and frequently contributed business analysis to Knowledge@Wharton, the online business journal of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

In 2012, I moved back to Beijing to report on China's laws and regulations for Bloomberg BNA, a subsidiary of Bloomberg LP that later became Bloomberg Industry Group. The company hired me in 2015 as a staff correspondent in Philadelphia, covering legal and regulatory news out of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware. I also reported on corporate litigation and bankruptcy for two years.

I joined Law360 in August 2021.
