Jessica Lessin Would Bet Big on China Coverage Again

Jessica Lessin of The Information describes arriving in Beijing in March of 2016. She visited dozens of tech companies each week, met Chinese and U.S. investors nightly at the Rosewood, and spent weekends at startups. In a recent newsletter she states that the publication's decade-long focus on China coverage was the right call and that she would make the same decision today. She points to competition over AI, chips, and technology as the reason the reporting has grown more essential.
