kitchen talk: Reporting on Global China

Journalists reporting on China are facing a deepening dilemma: while their work is becoming increasingly important given China's growing influence in the world, the conditions for their coverage are becoming more difficult. Although political analysts have long emphasised the regional and global impact of China's policies, reporting on the country often remains a blind spot in the European public's eye. Therefore, we asked proficient experts to join our table to discuss foreign coverage of China.

What is the working reality for journalists covering China inside and outside the country? How does widespread and covert Chinese influence manifest itself, especially in Europe's East? What are our misconceptions and pitfalls in reporting on China?
