Katrina Northrop named The Posts China correspondent

We’re very happy to announce that Katrina Northrop will join The Post as a China correspondent, becoming a key member of a team covering a world power whose path is shaping the 21st century.

With a strong record of reporting on China from inside and outside the country, Katrina possesses the expertise, versatility and ambition that have defined The Post’s coverage. As a Washington-based reporter for The Wire China, Katrina has delivered a steady stream of revelatory work on subjects including the China-Russia semiconductor trade and U.S. private equity firms financing China’s surveillance state. In 2023, she received the Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA) Award for Young Journalists for a “standout and impactful body of investigative work on China's economic influence,” including a two-part investigation on Wynn Resort’s high stakes dealmaking in Macau. Her reporting on a collaborative investigation of secret links between two Chinese billionaires was published this week in The New York Times. In her new role, Katrina will be based in Taiwan and will work in close partnership with correspondent Christian Shepherd in Singapore and with other members of The Post’s China team, who report from Taipei and Seoul. She will collaborate closely with national security reporters and technology reporters based in the United States.
