SUMMARY

Characterized as a “mammoth sociological, political whistleblower” by National Review, Ethan Gutmann’s seminal research into Chinese Internet surveillance, the intersection of Western business with Chinese security objectives and the Laogai System has received sustained attention for over a decade. He has provided testimony to the United States Congress, the Central Intelligence Agency, the UN, and parliaments in Brussels, Ottawa, Canberra and London. Along with appearances on PBS, CNN, BBC, and CNBC, Gutmann has also spoken at universities and press clubs around the world. Gutmann has written for many publications, including the Asian Wall Street Journal, Investor's Business Daily, The Weekly Standard, National Review, and World Affairs Journal. Along with recognition from the New York Times and Congress for “The Xinjiang Procedure,” his research has been supported by grants from the Earhart Foundation, the Peder Wallenberg family, and the National Endowment for Democracy. His first book Losing the New China received several awards for outstanding writing including the 2005 “Spirit of Tiananmen Award.” Formerly a senior counselor at APCO China, Gutmann reported from Beijing for several years. As chief investigator for the AV network in Washington DC during the 1990s, he directed the “American Investigator” documentary series, and he served as a foreign policy analyst at the Brookings Institution during the 1980s. Gutmann completed a BA and a Masters at Columbia University.
