About EricOnChina
Bridging China and the World — One Story at a Time
EricOnChina is built on one simple belief: real understanding changes everything. I want to help people around the world experience China beyond the headlines and stereotypes — through stories, context, and human connection.
From daily life to business realities, from culture to innovation, my goal is to make China less distant and more human — so that curiosity can replace misunderstanding, and connection can replace division.
Eric's Story
I was born in China but spent over 30 years living in the U.S. and Canada. During those years abroad, I often found myself answering questions like — “What is China really like?” and realizing how few people had ever seen it for themselves.
When I returned to China, I saw a different country from the one the world imagines — dynamic, ambitious, messy, and deeply human. That was when I decided to share what I see firsthand — through videos, consulting, and conversations that make China accessible to anyone curious enough to learn.
Today, through TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, I tell stories about modern China — its coffee culture, factory cities, start-up energy, and everyday people — while my website offers a place for those who want to go deeper: consultations, workshops, and curated products that bring understanding to life.
I’m a content creator, consultant, and entrepreneur working at the intersection of culture and business. My life has been a dialogue between East and West — from growing up in China to studying and working in North America, then returning home to see China with new eyes.
I graduated from the University of Toronto and the University of Arkansas, and have worked and invested in a wide variety of industries. Across these fields, my focus has always been the same — understanding people and bridging cultures.
Now based in China, I work with individuals and organizations who want to navigate China’s complex yet fascinating landscape — offering personalized guidance, cross-cultural training, and creative collaborations.
“I don’t speak for China — I translate its stories.
My goal is not to convince, but to connect.”
A Note from Eric
Hi friends —
after three decades abroad, I came home to a China that surprised me — faster, freer, more creative than I remembered. But I also realized that most people outside China never get to see this side of it.
That’s why I created this space — to share what I see every day and to invite you to ask your own questions. Beyond ideology or labels, we are all humans — curious about each other, wanting to connect. Thank you for being here.
Welcome to EricOnChina — where understanding starts with a conversation.
With warmth,
Eric
