Chun Han Wong

Wong has been a reporter with The Wall Street Journal since 2010. He has chronicled Xi Jinping's campaign to accrue personal power and enforce Party control-from crackdowns on corruption, dissent and independent scholarship, and efforts to enforce the Party's narratives in online spaces, businesses, schools and even private homes. In August 2019, after the Chinese government refused to renew Chun Han's press credentials, he moved to the Journal's bureau in Hong Kong, where he has continued covering Chinese politics, examining Xi's hard-nosed strategy for crushing dissent in the former British colony, his increasingly coercive efforts to reel in the island democracy of Taiwan, as well as the domestic and diplomatic fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic that first emerged in central China. Chun Han was born and raised in Singapore and is a native speaker in English and Mandarin Chinese.
