Meaghan Tobin will join The Post as a China correspondent, with a focus on business and technology.
Meaghan is a proficient speaker of Mandarin whose deep knowledge of China and flair for storytelling have been evident in her recent work as a China technology reporter for Rest of World. First as a student and then as a journalist, Meaghan spent four years in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China before relocating to New York during the coronavirus pandemic.
At least initially, Meaghan will be based in Taiwan while we seek to persuade the Chinese authorities to grant visas that would allow Post correspondents to return to Beijing. Meaghan will join a Taiwan-based team that includes Lily Kuo, our China bureau chief, and Christian Shepherd, a correspondent, along with researchers Vic Chiang and Pei-Lin Wu in Taipei, Lyric Li in Seoul and Theodora Yu in Hong Kong. Adding Meaghan will allow The Post to devote more attention to the increasingly central role that technology is playing in China and across Asia as an instrument of government power and as a driver of global change.
