Reporter, Business / Health

The Wall Street Journal seeks an enterprising and ambitious reporter to cover business in Asia with a primary focus on health and China. Asia has a thriving pharmaceutical industry in China, India and Japan; companies in the region are major outsourcing partners for counterparts in the West. China has ambitions to become a leader in health technologies such as DNA analysis and gene editing. Asia is also a key battleground for combating lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, monitoring emerging viruses and tackling the health challenges of aging populations. The region continues to confront the Covid-19 pandemic, including with Zero-Covid policies that have disrupted economies and sparked backlashes even as they have in some cases kept case counts relatively low.
