About Zhou Jiangong
Zhou Jiangong is the founder and CEO of Weijin Research, a Shanghai-based research firm covering technology, AI, and carbon neutrality.
He is one of China's most experienced business media executives. He was a founding editor of Yicai Daily (First Financial Daily) in 2004, then served as Editor-in-Chief of Forbes China from 2009 to 2015. After Alibaba's RMB 1.2 billion investment in Yicai, he became CEO of the entire Yicai Media Group, overseeing its TV, print, digital, and new ventures — including launching the English-language Yicai Global.
Before media, he was a research consultant at CSIS in Washington, D.C., working on China's pension reform. He founded Weijin Research in 2023, and has since published widely on generative AI, the economics of large model training, and China's role in the global energy transition. He authored Crossing the Unknown: From Infinite Labor to Infinite Computing and translated the Chinese edition of the Jensen Huang/Nvidia biography.
He holds master's degrees from Johns Hopkins SAIS and Peking University.
