Shake-up Across China Editions of T, Wallpaper, WSJ.

BEIJING — Major senior staffing changes are taking place across the Chinese editions of T Magazine, Wallpaper and the soon-to-be-launched WSJ. Magazine, with two major appointments revealed for the latter, due to launch in November.

A memo written by Feng Chuxuan, the founder and chief executive officer of Huasheng Media Group, the firm in charge of the above titles, revealed the media musical chairs.

Feng himself is taking on the role of editor in chief of T Magazine, relinquishing that same position at Wallpaper. Dan Cui, the current editor in chief of T, will be moved to a coeditor position with the title and will continue working on various projects for the group, Feng’s statement said. However, it seems that he will have more of a back-seat role, and Cui has already updated his Instagram profile to read “former media person.”

Meanwhile, Wallpaper will be led by a core team of three: Huang Jun and Deng Yuan have both been tapped as editorial directors and Guo Jialu for the deputy editor role.

Zhang Fuhua has been named publisher of WSJ. Magazine China, while Fan Xia has joined the group in a business role to help launch the title. As reported, WSJ. is also getting changes within the English edition, which is setting up a digital team overseen by Sarah Ball.

Feng’s letter has been translated from Chinese in full below:

“Dear brand and industry friends,

At the same time, he will continue duties as co-editor in chief, overseeing and creating different media on fashion and other topics.

Deng Yuan is a doctoral student at the architecture school of MIT and Tongji University, and is also a contributing editor of Huasheng, and is already working with Wallpaper China.

We will also welcome the launch of Wallpaper China’s intelligence and technology director in September, who will provide even more incisive reports on technology, artificial intelligence, new energy and other fields.
