Connie Er

Connie oversees The Straits Times’ global coverage, mainly on the US, Europe, South Asia, the Middle East and Oceania. She was previously on the East Asia beat, and has gone on exchange programmes in China at the Beijing Review weekly as well as at Peking University. She was also with CNA for four years. Having tracked the rise of China, she finds it fascinating to see some parallels now in the rise of India.
