Fergus was born in Britain, brought up in Ireland and, like a fine brandy, spent several years maturing in Spain. He has over ten years broadcast and print journalist experience on three continents, including 4 years as a news anchor on China's No.1 English language radio station. Eclectic in his interests - media, current affairs, literature, languages, aviation, science, beer - he is particularly absorbed by the ever-changing story of China's complex relationship with the rest of the world. The latter has kept him living in Beijing for the past five years - and looks like keeping him here for several more.
