David Eimer

When David Eimer made his first trip to China in 1088, he had no idea he would end up living and working there. After taking a law degree at University College London, he abandoned the idea of becoming a barrister for a career as a freelance journalist. That took him from London to LA for five years, where he wrote for a variety of newspapers and magazines including the London Sunday Times, the Mail on Sunday and the Guardian. Back in London, David began to be intrigued by the world's increasing focus on China. Returning there in 2002 for the first time in 14 years, he found a country that had changed almost beyond all recognition. He moved to Beijing in early 2005 and now contributes to the Sunday Telegraph and South China Morning Post, among other publications.
