Sascha and Michael Storfner on reporting from China

The two ARD journalists Sascha and Michael Storfner have spent the past few years as correspondents living in Beijing. They shared their experience as journalists living with their two children as a family in Beijing at the latest MERICS China Lounge. Here they showed videos of their trips to Xinjiang, talked about surveillance in their everyday life and discussed the rise of the protests in Hong Kong.

Time and again they have devoted themselves with great enthusiasm to everyday news stories about local Chinese people. The interview was conducted by Kerstin Lohse-Friedrich, Head of Communications at MERICS. Listen to a shortened version of the China Lounge in the MERICS Experts Podcast.
