Reuters is looking for an ambitious correspondent to cover finance and dealmaking in China, at a moment when the country’s financial system is being reshaped by politics, regulation and geopolitics. This role will explain how those forces intersect — and what they mean for companies, investors and global markets.

The beat includes regulation, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions, with renewed activity expected as China signals support for private enterprise.

As China Financial Services Correspondent, you will:

• Break news and produce authoritative reporting on regulation affecting Chinese and foreign firms
• Cover major M&A deals, IPOs in mainland China and Hong Kong, private equity transactions and strategic investments
• Work closely with Reuters colleagues in China and around the world to deliver sharp analysis for a global audience
• Partner with graphics, pictures and video teams to make complex financial stories accessible

About You

As China Financial Services Correspondent, you are likely to have:

• A strong track record of breaking news and reporting on regulation and dealmaking in China
• The ability to explain complex financial and political issues clearly, often under deadline pressure
• Persistence, strong sourcing skills and the confidence to pursue difficult stories
• Sound news judgement and financial acumen
• Fluency in English and proficiency in Chinese; experience reporting in or on Greater China is an advantage
• Experience using data and social platforms to surface and tell stories

Please note, the deadline for applications is 15th May 2026.
