Inside China: A Swiss Correspondent's Perspective

We are delighted to invite you to a Fireside Chat with China and East Asia Correspondent for Radio SRF Samuel Emch. Samuel has been based in Shanghai since summer 2022, from where he covers the political, economic, and social events unfolding in the country. He will share his experiences of living and working as a foreign journalist in China. With China’s doors having only recently re-opened, after being closed to the world for three years, his first-hand insights into the country are invaluable – don’t miss this unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of China through the eyes of a Swiss foreign journalist, and have all your burning questions answered.

After the Fireside Chat, we will enjoy an apéro and continue the conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. We look forward to seeing you there!

This event is exclusively accessible for Asia NEXT participants and alumni, as well as Gen A fellows and alumni.
