Timeline

2018

Since returning to London she has often been the main afternoon presenter on weekends either on the BBC News Channel or BBC World News. In June 2018 the BBC agreed to give her years of back pay and to pay her equally with other men presenters. Gracie donated the full amount of £361,000 to the Equal Pay Advice Service and the Fawcett Society. In 2018 Gracie took months of unpaid leave in order to take on writing and speaking engagements about both China and gender equality. She has since returned to work at the BBC News Channel and BBC World News.

2017

Gracie returned to her former post in the BBC newsroom on a salary of £145,000. In December 2017 and January 2018, Gracie acted as a guest presenter of the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.

2013

In December 2013, she was appointed BBC News' first editor for China based in Beijing. She resigned from this post at the end of December 2017/beginning of January 2018, citing pay discrimination over gender for the BBC's international editors. Her pay was £92,000 in 2009 and it was £135,000 in 2017, but she said the dispute was about parity and not about the amount. Jeremy Bowen, the BBC Middle East editor, earned somewhere between £150,000 and £199,000, while North American editor Jon Sopel earned somewhere between £200,000 and £249,000. The BBC had offered a 33% pay rise but, according to Gracie, had failed to offer equal pay. The dispute occurred against a background of complaints about excessive pay for some employees of the publicly funded BBC. The BBC stated it had "inadvertently" underpaid her by £100,000 because the senior journalist was “in development.”

2012

Gracie also appeared in the This World programme. She presented a programme entitled "The Fastest Changing Place on Earth". This followed three villages in China over six years as they became subject to an urbanisation scheme by the Chinese government. The programme was broadcast on 5 March 2012.

Gracie speaks fluent Mandarin. She has two children with her former husband, Chinese rock musician Cheng Jin. The children both spent a term in a Chinese school. In 2012, she received treatment for cancer.

2006

In an earlier series of features for BBC World News (TV) and BBC World Service (radio), she had tracked the process of power changes, migration, changing work/educational options and land redevelopment in a single southeastern Chinese village: this series of reports from White Horse village (the place name appearing in the titles of the various parts of the project) aired between ca 2006 and 2008. A follow-up came in 2015.

1997

Highlights of her career include covering the death of Deng Xiaoping and the handover of Hong Kong in 1997. Gracie took part in the BBC's coverage of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, as a co-commentator during the opening and closing ceremonies. In October 2008, she was presented with the inaugural Nick Clarke Award for her interview with BBC journalist Alan Johnston, who was kidnapped by the Palestinian Army of Islam in 2007.

1987

Gracie joined the BBC World Service in 1987 as a trainee producer, soon becoming a correspondent as well as on assignment, including African, Chinese and Asia-Pacific regions. She became a correspondent for BBC World Service and then for domestic radio and television in Beijing in 1991. Gracie moved back to the UK in 1999 as a presenter on BBC News and on World Service. For six years from January 2008, she was the main morning presenter for the BBC News Channel on Tuesdays – Fridays alongside Simon McCoy.
