International Editor
Emily Carter is the International Editor of The Taiwan Times, focusing on geopolitics and international security while coordinating the daily planning of world coverage and major breaking events.
She specialises in making tangled international conflicts intelligible — who the key actors are, how interests intersect, and what is likely to happen next — and always adds an analytical angle on what an event means for Taiwan.
From the war in Ukraine to the Indo-Pacific, she believes strong international reporting does more than relay facts; it gives readers a framework for judging them. She would rather run a story a little slower than leave its causes and context unexplained.
