What: Pinoy CNN Bureau Chief
Where: Beijing, China
When: December 14, 2011
For our UFO Sighting for today, I should not miss making a feature about this top UFO. He is the CNN’s Beijing Bureau Chief and correspondent, responsible for strategic planning of the network’s news coverage of
China.
Our top Pinoy of the day is no other than Mr. Jaime FlorCruz.
FlorCruz has studied, worked and travelled in China for more than 35 years, and he has reported extensively on the country as a journalist since 1980, when he started his journalistic career in China and worked as a reporter for Newsweek Magazine. In 1982, he joined TIME magazine’s Beijing bureau, and served as Beijing bureau chief from 1990 to 2000.
Our Top Pinoy feature has witnessed and reported the most significant events of China’s past three decades, including the country’s economic and social reforms, the crackdown on Tiananmen protests in 1989, the death of Deng Xiaoping and the 1997 Hong Kong handover. He has also covered cross-Straits relations, the Sichuan earthquake, the 2008 Beijing Olympic and ethnic unrest in Tibet and Xinjiang.
FlorCruz has contributed regularly to CNN.com and is the writer of a weekly online column “@Jaime's China” offering analysis about Chinese society and politics in addition to his on-air reporting, .
FlorCruz is termed as the dean of the foreign press corps in Beijing, for him being the longest-serving foreign correspondent in China to date. He was a two-term president of the 200-member Foreign Correspondents' Club of China (1988-90 & 1996-1999). He was also the Edward R. Murrow Press Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
Let us all salute to our UFO Sighting for today.
