Award-winning Washington Post correspondent John Pomfret relies on his professional experience to address China's trajectory as a global power and its potential pitfalls. As a student, he lived in China two years, then returned to cover the 1982 Tiananmen Square protests. From 1998 to 2005, he was The Post's bureau chief in Beijing. In 2003, Pomfret was awarded the Osborne Elliot Award for the best coverage of Asia by the Asia Society.
Pomfret also has covered conflict and war in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Congo, Sri Lanka, Iraq, southwestern Turkey, and northeastern Iran.
