“Michael was a tremendous asset to IDG News Service in his time covering China's technology industry for us. He developed good sources and did plenty of in-person "shoe leather" reporting to keep ahead of developments with major players such as Alibaba, and Xiaomi when it first started to break out. He travelled to manufacturing centers to do first-hand reporting on labor issues in the electronics supply chain, and proved to have a talent for both photography and video. Michael is also an unfailingly nice guy to work with, responsive to suggestions and feedback, and helpful to his colleagues as a collaborator. He offers any news organization seeking excellent coverage from China the triple qualifications of being a native English writer with excellent Mandarin skills and a good understanding of key technology topics.”
