“It’s important when discussing China to stop and take the long view from time to time.”
Mark MacKinnon, Globe and Mail senior international correspondent
The years Mark MacKinnon spent as the Beijing correspondent for The Globe and Mail coincided with an extraordinary period for China. Mind-boggling changes took place there, yet parts of the country remained almost unchanged from decades past.

MacKinnon graduated with a Bachelor of Journalism from the School in 1997. He is currently the Globe’s senior international correspondent based in London.
