Longtime CNN correspondent and anchor Andrew Stevens has been popping back up in recent days covering the Hong Kong protests. Stevens departed from CNN International in 2017; prior to that, he had been with CNN since 1999 in a variety of roles – host, business correspondent, and most recently, Asia Pacific editor.
Back in the Hong Kong hub on a freelance basis, Stevens is covering the protests when Kristie Lu Stout is off air. With the cancelation of Stevens’ show in 2014, that left Stout the only Hong Kong-based anchor — although now News Stream has been canceled by CNN as well in what has been called a “pivot away from Asia.”

I wish that he would come back on a permanent basis. This so-called “pivot away from Asia” is a serious mistake in probably the most important region in the world.
