Portrait of Keith Bradsher

Keith Bradsher

I have long specialized in coverage of China’s economy, international trade, monetary and currency policy, energy, manufacturing and the auto industry. But I also cover or contribute to our coverage of many other issues, including Chinese politics, geopolitics, diplomacy, human rights and natural disasters.

I’ve covered business and economics for The Times for more than 30 years, previously as bureau chief in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Detroit and as a Washington correspondent and a business writer in New York. I have lived and reported in mainland China since 2016, including through the pandemic. In China, I have covered the growth of manufacturing and associated trade tensions as well as many other issues. In Detroit, I covered the safety and environmental dangers of sport utility vehicles and wrote a book on the subject. While in Washington, I covered the creation of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the World Trade Organization and the Federal Reserve’s rapid interest rate increases in 1994.

The strengths and weaknesses of China’s economy and political model have become an increasingly contentious issue in recent years. I try to cover these issues dispassionately, independently and objectively. All Times journalists are committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook, and I am as well.
