In 2025, when headlines about the U.S.-China trade war seemed never-ending, the Monitor鈥檚 Beijing Bureau Chief took an on-the-ground approach to covering China鈥檚 economy. Traveling from slick AI showrooms to warehouses full of holiday tchotchkes, Ann Scott Tyson found optimism, nimbleness, and resilience 鈥� even in the face of U.S. sanctions. Here, she offers insights on the tension between control and innovation, China鈥檚 future as a manufacturing juggernaut, and the people getting left behind as the country鈥檚 economic growth slows.

About this feature

Each weekday, the Monitor includes one clearly labeled religious article offering spiritual insight on contemporary issues, including the news. The publication 鈥� in its various forms 鈥� is produced for anyone who cares about the progress of the human endeavor around the world and seeks news reported with compassion, intelligence, and an essentially constructive lens. For many, that caring has religious roots. For many, it does not. The Monitor has always embraced both audiences. The Monitor is owned by a church 鈥� The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston 鈥� whose founder was concerned with both the state of the world and the quality of available news.
