 Welcome! I am associate professor of political science at the University of British Columbia and non-resident scholar at the 21st Century China Center at UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy. I have also held visiting positions at Harvard University’s Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies (2014-2015), Fudan Development Institute (2016), and the East-West Center (2018). My
previous and ongoing research can be broadly divided into three research
programs that investigate (1) the impact of domestic politics on the process and content
of foreign economic and security policies, (2) the impact of global
supply chains on trade and investment, and (3) the political economy of trade liberalization
in developing and post-communist countries. In all of these research programs, I use
China as the
primary
case of inquiry and employ a variety of methods, including interviews, archival
research, historical institutional analysis, survey research, web-scraping, and
large-N analysis.
He is the coauthor of How China Sees the World: Insights from China’s International Relations Scholars (Palgrave 2019) and Fragmenting Globalization: The Politics of Preferential Trade Liberalization in China and the United States (University of Michigan Press, 2021).

Forthcoming from Palgrave Macmillan (December 2019) https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9789811504815 Order through Amazon. This book intends to make sense of how Chinese leaders perceive China’s rise in the world through the eyes of China’s international relations (IR) scholars. Drawing on a unique, four-year opinion survey of these scholars carried out at the annual conference of the Chinese Community of Political Science and International Studies (CCPSIS) in Beijing from 2014–2017, the authors examine Chinese IR scholars’ perceptions and their changes over time of key issues related to China’s power, its relationship with the United States and other major countries, and China’s position in the international system. Furthermore, the authors complement the surveys with a textual analysis of the academic publications in China’s top five IR journals. By comparing and contrasting the opinion surveys and textual analyses, this book sheds new light on how Chinese IR scholars view the world as well as how they might influence China’s foreign policy.
