Weijia Jiang
CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang is working on a memoir about her experiences as a Chinese American.
One Signal Publishers, a Simon & Schuster imprint, announced on Dec. 10 that Jiang’s “Other’” would come out in Spring 2022.
“In rural West Virginia where I grew up, most residents had never laid eyes on Chinese people until they saw my parents and me,” Jiang, 37, said in a statement. “In various newsrooms where I have worked, no one looked like me. And in the Trump White House, I stood out as the only Chinese American reporter regularly interacting with the president.’”
Jiang has been a White House reporter since 2018 and has clashed several times with President Donald Trump, who once called her “so obnoxious” as she attempted to ask a question about North Korea.
