Today, I'm delighted to share another success story with you: our accomplished 2018 GBJ graduate, Linda Lew from New Zealand.

Linda is a Hong Kong-based reporter for Bloomberg News. She has been covering stories on technology, startups and the automotive sector in recent years. But in mid-March, she had the opportunity to represent Bloomberg at China’s most important annual political and policy meetings, the Two Sessions (Liang Hui). Linda was on hand at the Great Hall of the People for the sessions' pivotal events, filing reports for the world's leading financial news and information service. After the Two Sessions concluded, she had the opportunity to return to the Tsinghua campus for the first time since her GBJ graduation in 2018. She also had time meet up with Professors Lee Miller and Rick Dunham, along with three other GBJ alumni, at a restaurant in Wudaoukou.

Before joining Bloomberg, Linda worked for the South China Morning Post for three years, honing her craft on China’s industrial and market landscapes. She won international praise for her on-the-scene coverage of the COVID outbreak in Wuhan in 2020, and she conducted journalism training for the International Center for Journalists to help other reporters around the world cover the pandemic.

The GBJ family extends our congratulations to you, Linda, on your remarkable achievements!
