Alastair Reid Schanche is a journalist for Dao Insights. He\u2019s spent five years living and working in China, largely covering his main interests: culture, society and the country\u2019s incredible food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He believes that the world is a better place when people have a nuanced view of the cultures in it. As China continues to define and shape the future, he\u2019s committed to documenting the country\u2019s complex rise and unpacking it for an English-speaking audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his down time he can be found training muay thai, warming seats in a local cinema, or stalking whatever city he\u2019s working from for the next good meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
