Chai Jing (Chinese: 柴静; pinyin: Chái Jìng; born on January 1, 1976) is a Chinese journalist and author.
In 1995, Chai began her broadcast career as a radio host in Hunan Province. From 2001 to 2013, she worked for China Central Television (CCTV) as a well respected investigative reporter and host. In 2012 she published an autobiography, Insight (Chinese: 看见; pinyin: kànjiàn), which sold more than 1 million copies. Chai is known for her direct, get-to-the point interview technique.
In 2014, Chai produced and self-financed the environmental documentary Under the Dome (Chinese: 穹顶之下; pinyin: qióng dǐng zhī xià), directed by Ming Fan, which sparked widespread discussion about pollution in China.[2] Chai and her documentary were banned in China on March 7, 2015.[3] The same year she was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people.[4]
