Currently The Washington Post's Los Angeles bureau chief and immigration expert, John Pomfret spent 15 years as a foreign correspondent, covering conflicts in such far-flung locales as Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and the Congo. He also lived and worked in China off-and-on for a decade - as a student, an AP reporter and the Post's chief in Beijing - and was eyewitness to the '89 Tiananmen Square protests. His book, Chinese Lessons, is a first-hand account of the transformation of China over the past forty years.
