James Chau

James Chau (Chinese: 周柳建成١-.. Zhōuliǔ Jiànchéng[citation needed]; born 11 December 1977)[1] is a British-born journalist, television presenter, and United Nations goodwill ambassador. He previously anchored the main evening news on state-owned China Central Television (CCTV).[2] In 2009, he was appointed by the United Nations as China's first UNAIDS goodwill ambassador.[3] He wrote a newspaper column for the Chinese Communist Party-owned tabloid Global Times.[4] His appointment as goodwill ambassador to the World Health Organization attracted attention due to his role in presenting forced confessions while working for Chinese state-run broadcaster CGTN.[2][5]

Education

Chau was born in England and educated at City of London School,[6] King's College London and St. Edmund's College, University of Cambridge, where he was Varsity News Features Editor.[7] His parents were born in Indonesia and Hong Kong.[8]

Television

After graduating from Cambridge, and interning at Vogue and Mirror Group Newspapers,[9] he moved to Hong Kong for his first newsroom position. From 2001 he was a reporter and later an anchor at TVB Pearl.[10] Chau joined China Central Television in 2004,[11] where he featured as a main presenter on the 24-hour CCTV News English-language station. Since April 2010, he also co-fronted the channel's flagship China 24 show.[12]

UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador

In August 2009, the United Nations announced his appointment as its first UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador on the Chinese Mainland.[13]
