Portrait of David Pierson

David Pierson

I write about China’s foreign policy and its engagement with the rest of the world. I’m interested in charting how China’s growing influence is shaping global affairs and forcing established powers like the United States to adapt.

I have been a professional journalist since 1998. Before joining The Times in 2022, I worked for more than two decades at The Los Angeles Times, partly as a foreign correspondent based in Beijing covering China, and later as a Southeast Asia correspondent based in Singapore. I now live and work in Hong Kong, the city I was born and raised in before I left for the United States as a teenager. My work has been recognized by the Society of Professional Journalists, the National Press Club and the Gerald Loeb Awards, among others. I am a graduate of St. John’s University in Queens, New York, where I studied journalism.

As a Times journalist, I share the values and adhere to the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. Being fair and accurate is a priority for me. I protect my sources and I do not accept gifts, money or favors from anyone who might figure into my reporting. I make every attempt to give all sides a say.
