Paul Jones is a Shanghai-based wannabe journalist trying to combine writing with his special subject of high-control groups, including cults, multi-level marketing schemes, and problematic coaching programmes/relationships. His brief stint in the Korean Christian group, Shincheonji, made him want to help former and current cult members, and their families, and contribute something to the field of cult education. His articles on Chinese community architecture and Shanghai’s boxing gyms have appeared in the British Council’s ChinaNow magazine, and That’s Magazine.
