AWARD RECIPIENT AFFILIATION: The Wall Street Journal
AWARD HONORED WORK: “Chinese Rules”
The judges were impressed by the Journal’s coverage, over a period of 10 months, of how the Chinese Communist Party’s leadership has changed the rules facing foreign multinationals in an attempt to squeeze them for their technology and allow Chinese state-owned enterprises to use that technology under the guise of “indigenous innovation.” The Journal’s team of reporters covered this trend in industries ranging from jet fighters to high-speed trains. In so doing, they captured what appears to have been a decisive shift in the business climate in what is now the world’s second largest economy.
