Announcing China OSINT Course for Journalists, Analysts, and Policy Professionals

Practical, self-paced training in China-focused OSINT for journalists, analysts, and policy professionals.

I’m excited to share that I’m opening enrollment for a new course on China-focused OSINT for journalists, analysts, and researchers. The course is built as a practical guide for people who want to investigate Chinese media narratives, track influence operations, verify claims, and develop repeatable research workflows.

Over the past few years, I’ve spent a lot of time working across journalism, geopolitical analysis, and open-source research focused on China, Taiwan, and the wider Asia-Pacific. This course brings that experience into a structured format with recorded video lessons, practical methods, and tools you can apply directly in your own work.

What the course includes

The course is delivered through recorded video modules and includes step-by-step walkthroughs, downloadable checklists, and template searches you can reuse in your own investigations. It is designed for journalists, OSINT analysts, policy researchers, and serious independent researchers who need a clearer, more reliable way to navigate China-related information environments.

If you wanted to learn about signing up and mining the Chinese social media platforms for OSINT insights, this course is for you!

Topics include verifying information from Chinese media and social media sources, location verification, and building a working toolkit for investigating China-focused stories and networks. The core Tier 1 includes around 4.5 hours of self-paced content, while the Tier 2 pro edition expands to roughly 6 hours and also includes certification and a personal reference from me.

Why I made it

There is a lot of interest in China-related OSINT, but much of the public material is either too basic or too scattered to be genuinely useful. My goal was to build something practical, direct, and usable for professionals who need methods they can trust under deadline pressure.

This is not a broad introduction to internet research. It is a focused course for people who want to work more effectively on China-related investigations and analysis.

I have worked with government clients and major corporations over the years as a consultant to help them counter emerging geopolitical threats.

Closing note

I’ve been encouraged by the level of interest so far, and I’m looking forward to sharing this with readers who want to sharpen their reporting and research skills on China. I hope the course becomes a useful resource for people doing serious work in this space.
