Vision Times is a borderless, largely volunteer community of writers, analysts, online media experts, and translators from around the world. While many media companies have a mission, we at Vision Times are on a mission to change what the world pays attention to.
We believe that stories about important issues can and should be told. It is these stories that connect us and can sometimes even change the world. Our writers are also our readers; they have opinions and are brave enough to start the conversations that need to begin.
