Hi Lu,

Sorry for this late announcement, but the details of this interesting MIT
China Forum have just been finalized. Can I trouble you again to send the

Will the Global Financial Crisis Upend U.S. - China Relations?


Joe Kahn, Pulitzer Prize Winner and Deputy Foreign Editor of the New York
Times
Friday, March 13
11:00 am to 12:00 p.m.
MIT Stata Center Room 32-141


Journalist Joe Kahn shares his thoughts about how the Chinese leadership is
handling the economic crisis and the impact its actions are having on China
and the outside world.


Kahn became the deputy foreign editor of the New York Times in early 2008.
Prior to that he was the Beijing bureau chief for the newspaper. He has also
reported on international economic issues in the Times’ Washington Bureau,
and covered Wall Street based in New York.

Kahn joined the Times in January, 1998. Before that he spent four years as a
China correspondent for the Wall Street Journal. He also worked for the
Dallas Morning News as a city desk reporter and foreign correspondent.


Born in Boston, Mass., on August 19, 1964, Kahn graduated from Harvard
College in 1987, with a cum laude degree in American History. In 1990, he
received a master’s degree in East Asian Studies from the Harvard Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences.


Kahn was part of a team of reporters at the Dallas Morning News that was
awarded the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 1994 for stories
on violence against women around the world. He and his Beijing-based
colleague, Jim Yardley, won a Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in
2006 for their coverage of China’s evolving legal system.


The recipient of numerous journalism prizes, Kahn has been awarded an
Overseas Press Club award and the Grantham prize for “Choking on Growth,” a
series of stories on China’s environmental problems.
