Rest of World is thrilled to announce that Kinling Lo will be joining Rest of World as a China Reporter. Lo will be working on our China desk, which includes Senior Reporter Viola Zhou and China Editor Joanna Chiu.

Kinling was previously a correspondent covering diplomacy, macroeconomy, and tech policies for the South China Morning Post from Beijing.

Kinling has spent most of her time in Hong Kong, where she was born and raised. She also worked in Washington D.C. in 2022 to focus on the reporting of China-U.S. relations. She graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and holds a master’s degree in international relations from Tsinghua University. Kinling speaks Cantonese and Mandarin. 

Kinling has developed a remarkable track record of publishing incisive, nuanced, and well-sourced stories on China’s tech and business community and we’re eager to see what she does at Rest of World.

Please join us in congratulating Kinling and welcoming her to the team!
