Its not that deep. Laura He writes about Asian markets and business. Laura He lives in Hong Kong. No reason to get someone living in Tokyo to write the article if Laura He has the expertise, just to get some location header "correct".
- infecto 3y agoIts simpler than that, "Hong Kong, China (Asia Pacific regional headquarters)" is what the wikipedia page lists for CNN.
- tokai 3y agoWhats your point? That doesn't add or simplify anything. The point is that there is nothing weird in an article about japans economy is published from Hong Kong.

- actuallyalys 3y agoYes, this is the correct explanation. Datelines are generally based on the writer’s location. I don’t know for sure that’s CNN policy, but it’s AP policy, which is widely followed.
