Young,(Professor, Fudan University Journalism School) Doug

Doug Young has lived and worked in China for 15 years, much of that as a journalist, writing about Chinese companies with a focus on media and technology. He currently lives in Shanghai where he teaches financial journalism at Fudan University, one of China’s top journalism programs. He also writes daily on his blog, Young’s China Business Blog, commenting on the latest developments at Chinese companies listed in the US, China and Hong Kong. Before that he worked for 10 years at Reuters in a range of positions, including Chief Correspondent for China Company News, Senior Technology Correspondent for Greater China, and Taipei Bureau Chief in the company’s Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taipei bureaus. His tenure in Asia dates back to the late 1980s, when China began liberalizing its economy and many of its major corporate names first began to emerge. He has reported continually over that period on China’s transformation from an economy of state-owned companies to one where many of the biggest corporate names are privately owned and publicly traded. The latest developments at these companies form the basis for most of his commentaries, examining the latest corporate and industry trends and what they mean for both short- and longer-term investors.
