Despite real challenges and misperceptions of the world’s second largest economy as an unknowable “black box,” China has a wealth of publicly available information available to persistent reporters who know how to access it. In this session, journalists who are experts on the topic explain how sources such as court records, corporate databases, procurement notices, academic papers, satellite imagery, and Chinese social media can be mined for investigative scoops. They discuss work-arounds for the shrinking access to the Chinese internet ecosystem, and which investigative resources require Chinese phone numbers or IP addresses.
