Chu had been the LA Times bureau chief in London from 2008-2015. Previously, he served as bureau chief in Beijing, Rio de Janeiro and New Delhi.
In a PBS NewsHour interview he noted being a reporter of Chinese descent was helpful while on assignment in China, allowing him to "blend into the woodwork in places where a Western Caucasian reporter would immediately stand out."
