Taking the Measure of Xi's China

Mon, March 30, 2020
Lunch Program
Lucy Hornby (EVENT POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE)

Xi Jinping is promoting a new development path as the US tries to pull away from its decades-long engagement policy. Will it work? Financial Times journalist Lucy Hornby will explore what Xi's new era means for China, and for the rest of the world.  

Lucy Hornby covered China for 15 years, most recently serving as deputy bureau chief in Beijing for the Financial Times. She has reported from every Chinese province and region for the FT and Reuters, on topics ranging from elite politics to the trade war and environmental pollution. She originally moved to China with Princeton in Asia, and taught English for two years in Wuhan, an industrial city. She is fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

In 2018, Lucy led the FT investigation into the ownership of HNA, one of China’s biggest companies, which won the Society of Publishers in Asia’s award for excellence in business reporting. Her coverage has won numerous other awards. Hornby is currently a fellow at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard.

 Ms. Hornby’s Atheaneum presentation is co-sponsored by the International Journalism Lab at the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies
