Not enough data
Robyn Mak’s articles predominantly focus on finance, with a particular emphasis on investment analysis and data-driven insights. Her coverage tends to revolve around the financial aspects of companies, particularly in East Asia.
Given her focus on citing data and providing investment analysis, Robyn would likely be interested in pitches from experts who can offer unique insights or analysis into financial trends specific to East Asian companies and industries. Sources with expertise in South Korean businesses, artificial intelligence developments in Japan, or market movements related to companies like Sony or Swire may find their pitches well-received by Robyn.
As she covers topics centered around finance within specific geographic regions like South Korea and Tokyo, sources who can provide localized perspectives or insider knowledge about these markets could be particularly relevant for her coverage.

So-called generative AI, where a model creates new content based on the data it's trained on, today largely exists in the cloud.
China may be on track to hit its "around 5%" economic GDP target for this year, but repeating the feat will get harder for policymakers. Third quarter growth logged in at 4.6% year-on-year, and that pace will need sustaining if the People's Republic is to achieve medium-level developed economy status by 2035. Unless planners move their own goalposts, they'll have to contort themselves a lot more.

China’s new hobbies will be bad news for most retailers. A fad for biking, hiking, and other physical endeavours has helped companies like $10 billion
An abortive coup in South Korea was probably not on anyone's bingo card for 2024. Great Power tensions have tended to dominate. Enter President Yoon Suk Yeol, who shocked the world by declaring martial law on Tuesday night, only to make an embarrassing U-turn just hours later after both his own and opposition parties forced their way into parliament to vote down his decree. The crisis in the $2 trillion economy, a major U.S. ally and chipmaking hub, may seem just a domestic issue. But it may yet reverberate in Asia and beyond.

China’s crackdowns on education and other sectors have crushed businesses like tutoring outfit New Oriental Education & Technology Group 9901.HK.
China has found a clever way to retaliate against Washington. Beijing has started an antitrust investigation into Jensen Huang's $3.4 trillion Nvidia . Coming after more U.S. technology curbs on the country, the motive seems political. But Nvidia's AI chip dominance means monopoly concerns can't be dismissed.

Hong Kong's long-dormant animal spirits have found a fun niche in an otherwise gloomy market. Shares in Chinese toymaker Bloks surged 82% on their Friday debut, thanks to overwhelming demand in the city. The $2 billion firm, which specialises in assembling Transformers and other figurines, is tapping into the country's collectible toy frenzy led by Hong Kong-listed peer Pop Mart , whose stock clocked up a blistering 360% gain in 2024. It's a welcome reminder that there are still bright spots in the beaten-down economy.
It's becoming clear that everything may be up for negotiation with President Donald Trump. That might not be a bad thing for China. The U.S. leader warned the People's Republic could face tariffs of up to 100% if Beijing does not approve a sale of TikTok, the video app owned by Chinese firm ByteDance. How such a deal would look is unclear, but it would be an easy way for both sides to show goodwill ahead of negotiations on thornier issues like trade.
