Bang Xiao (Chinese: 萧邦, born 1989) is an Australian journalist and China analyst. He is currently the Supervising Producer for Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Chinese news service.[1][2]
Xiao is known for his news analysis on China and Australia-China relations.[3][4]
In 2022, Xiao has won Melbourne Press Club's Quill Award for Reporting on Multicultural Affairs, covering temporary migrants living in modern slavery in Australia.[5][6][7]
Early life[edit]
Xiao is a first-generation Australian of Chinese heritage.[8] He was born in China in 1989, and migrated to Melbourne in 2007.[9]
Journalism[edit]
Xiao's first article, on a personal reflection of eating dog meat when he was a child, was published on ABC News in 2018.[10]
In 2019, Xiao worked for ABC's flagship program Four Corners, which triggered Australian brand Cotton On and Target's investigation into their suppliers after Beijing's forced labour of ethnic minorities exposed in Xinjiang.[11][12] The story received a Lowy Institute Media Award in 2020.[13]
In 2020, Xiao's exclusive story on hundreds of Australians being trapped in Wuhan resulted the Federal government's decision to evacuate more than 600 citizens from the epicentre of COVID-19.[14] The series coverage was nominated for the Premier's Multicultural Communications Awards in the category of Best Print Report.[15]
In November 2020, Xiao and his family members, including his mother and sister, received rape threats after he exposed Beijing's attempt to draw on Chinese diaspora's anti-racism campaign in Australia as a diplomatic tactic.[16]
In 2022, Xiao's three-year investigation into modern slavery in Australia's regional area uncovered severe exploitation against temporary migrants. The story has won the 2021 Quill Award for Reporting on Multicultural Affairs.[17]
