Emily Feng (Chinese: 冯哲芸) is an American journalist and author who focuses on politics and human rights in China and travels frequently to conflicts and hotspots around the world.[1][2]

Early life and education

[edit]

Feng was born and raised in Bethany, Connecticut,[3] to Chinese parents. She says she considers herself Chinese and American in identity, "and that connection and those people and that world will always be accessible whether or not I am in China."[4] Feng studied Public Policy and Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Duke University and graduated in 2015.[3]

Journalism career

[edit]

Feng served as an international correspondent for NPR from 2019 to 2024, based in Beijing and Taipei. Her work in Taiwan was among a package awarded a citation from the Overseas Press Club in 2025.[5] Before joining NPR, she was a Beijing correspondent for the Financial Times.

Feng has covered semiconductors,[6] Chinese surveillance of Uyghurs, and the coronavirus epidemic in China.[7] Her work uncovering the contours of China's crackdown in Xinjiang won a Human Rights Press Award in 2021.[8]

She has also done reporting in conflict zones around the world, including the Middle East,[9] Europe,[10] and Asia.[11] In 2025, she moved to Washington, D.C., for NPR, where she covers foreign policy and U.S.-China relations.[12]

In 2022, Feng received the 2022 Shorenstein Journalism Award for her work in the Asia-Pacific.[13] In 2023, Feng won the Daniel Schorr Journalism Prize for her reporting on Uyghur families in China.[14][15]

In 2025, Feng published Let Only Red Flowers Bloom, a book that explores questions of identity in modern China.[12][16][4] She said she wrote it because "she wanted to help people feel what it's like to live in their world, because that's what I've lost since leaving China — and, I think, what we've all lost now that there are fewer reporters on the ground in mainland China."[17]
