China Reporter, Global Companies

The Wall Street Journal seeks a seasoned, enterprising reporter to cover global businesses in China. China more than ever poses a paradox for companies headquartered in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere around the world. Its billions of consumers are crucial to the growth prospects for everything from automakers to hotels to retailers. Yet the business environment is growing increasingly political, and geopolitical tensions are intruding on myriad fronts. Companies risk being caught between the economics of their supply chains and the national security directives coming out of Washington, and between the activism of their customers and the demands of the Chinese state.
