We are seeking a reporter to cover China's e-commerce sector. You will be responsible for writing key developments at the most important companies including but not limited to Alibaba, PDD/Temu and JD.com. You will dig deep into the titans whose fortunes are now much affected by China's geopolitical struggle with the U.S. and a protracted slowdown in the world's second largest economy. In the process, you will also tell broader stories of how technology is transforming the country's society and culture.
