Melissa Chan Biography

Melissa Chan is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on June 2, 1980 in Hong Kong, United States. Chan was born in Hong Kong in 1980 and raised in Los Angeles after her family immigrated to the United States at the age of three.

Chan was hired by Al Jazeera English in 2007 to be a China correspondent for the Beijing bureau. She filed more than 400 reports during her five-year tenure with Al Jazeera English. These included stories about land confiscation, and so-called black jails. Chan also reported on stories from North Korea. Chan’s press credentials and visa were not renewed in 2012, which forced her to leave China. After her expulsion, Al Jazeera English’s Beijing bureau was closed. This was the first foreign journalist to be expelled since 1998. Although the Chinese government did not provide any explanation, officials had previously charged Chan with unspecified violations that were never clarified. The Foreign Correspondent’s club of China and press reports linked the expulsion to an Al Jazeera English documentary about slave labor in Chinese prisons that had upset Chinese authorities. Chan was not involved in the production of this piece. Her expulsion took place amid multiple conflicts between foreign journalists and the Chinese government regarding denials and delays in obtaining journalist visas.

Chan later became a correspondent in San Francisco for Al Jazeera America, where she worked from the network launch in August 2013 until its closure in April 2016.

Chan graduated from Yale University in 2002 with a B.A. in history. She completed a Masters of Science degree in comparative politics in 2005 at the London School of Economics and Political Science, UK.
