Zeyi Yang’s Biography

Zeyi Yang is a journalist, podcaster, and researcher based in New York City. Currently, he works as a tech reporter at Protocol | China, but his journalistic interests also lie in immigration, race, LGBTIQ issues, and everything related to China.

Previously, Zeyi was a reporting fellow at Rest of World, a nonprofit newsroom telling technology stories outside the western bubble.

In his spare time, Zeyi co-founded a Mandarin podcast 无所不JI that tells LGBTIQ stories in China. One of the episodes has been viewed over 300,000 times on Weibo.

Born and raised in Wuhan, China, Zeyi is native in Mandarin, which enables him to talk to the Chinese immigrants and diaspora in NYC and get access to a community living in limbo between two world powers. In pre-pandemic times, he could be easily found on the streets of Chinatown and Flushing. Sometimes for reporting, always for food.
