Yang Rui

Yang Rui (simplified Chinese: 杨锐; traditional Chinese: 楊銳; pinyin: Yáng Ruì, born 2 May 1963) is a Chinese journalist, who formerly hosted the Dialogue talk show on CGTN.[1]

In addition to academics and China experts, Yang interviews a wide variety of opinion makers including prominent politicians, diplomats and business people.

Yang is known for his aggressive and impolite approach to interviewing, giving a negative impression to foreigners. He is also notorious for his personal attacks on other people and journalists.[2]

In May 2020, after six months off-air, Yang left CGTN to join TMTPOST, a Chinese news website.[3]
