Anthony Kuhn ( Chinese: 孔安; pinyin: Kǒng Ān) is the National Public Radio correspondent in Seoul, South Korea. [1] He was previously NPR's correspondent in Beijing, China. [2] [3] Before his roles in South Korea and China, he served as NPR correspondent for Southeast Asia based in Jakarta, in which capacity he opened NPR's first bureau there, [4] as well as in London. [5] A graduate in French Literature at Washington University in St. Louis, he earned a graduate certificate in Chinese Studies from the Johns Hopkins University-Nanjing University Center for Chinese and American Studies in Nanjing, China. [6] He attended high school at the Commonwealth School in Boston, Massachusetts. [7]
Kuhn, who was NPR's correspondent in Beijing for years and reported on stories throughout China [8] and the broader region, gained national attention in China when a video of him asking questions at a government press conference in fluent Mandarin became popular on the Chinese microblogging site Sina Weibo (China's answer to Twitter) in March 2017. [9] On August 1, 2018, NPR announced Kuhn will become their next Seoul correspondent as Elise Hu will be moving to NPR West. [1]
He is the son of the late Harvard professor and sinologist Philip A. Kuhn. [2] [10]
