Mei Fong (born August 8, 1972), also known as Fong Foongmei (方凤美), is a Malaysian-born American journalist who was staff reporter for the China bureau for The Wall Street Journal. In April 2007, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting as part of the bureau's "sharply edged reports on the adverse impact of China's booming capitalism on conditions ranging from inequality to pollution."[1] She is "believed to be the first Malaysian ... to achieve this distinction."[2]
Her story on China's migrant construction workers that won the Pulitzer Prize also garnered a 2006 Human Rights Press Award from Amnesty International and the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents' Club.[3]
Her book about China's one-child policy, One Child: The Past And Future Of China’s Most Radical Experiment,[4] was published as an e-book on November 3, 2015[5] and was released as a hard cover book (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, ISBN 9780544275393) on February 1, 2016.[6][7] In 2017, she was named to Foreign Policy's "The U.S.-China 50" list.[8]
In 2019, Fong became director of communications and strategy for the Center for Public Integrity.[9] She was the executive producer of The Heist, a five episode podcast series covering the economic policies of the Trump administration and a focus on Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.[10][11]
