The heartbeat of Silicon Valley: Kelly's Report

I have found the articles written by Qidong Zhang (Kelly) for China Daily USA to be some of the very most interesting coverage of Silicon Valley which I have ever read. The articles are clear, comprehensive and compelling. Interviews bring out the essence of the subjects covered without unnecessary and diverting testimony. When direct quotes are helpful they are always included. Most importantly, Qidong is connected to a broad network of the top talent in Silicon Valley.

She cultivates the movers and shakers and they like to share their views with her. I personally try to read everything she has written and it has been an exciting education for me.

With a prime Journalism mission these days the improving of understanding between China and the United States, Qidong Zhang (Kelly) has emerged as a highly talented and perceptive analyst. Educated in China and US, she absorbed the culture of her graduate studies in Arkansas and California, and now brilliantly enlightens readers in both of her countries about how much alike they are, after all.

Qidong Zhang (Kelly) is the perfect journalist to bridge the gap between China and the United States in informing the public - she knows both cultures intimately through education and personal experience. Her articles written for China Daily USA show a rare understanding of both countries and why it is important for Americans to understand China and for the Chinese to understand the United States.
