Overview
I have two ongoing research projects: one is to study the rise of electric vehicle in China with a focus on the impact of state industrial policy on the development of this industry, the other is how the three mega historical trends, including the pendulum movement of globalization between release of market forces and social protection, the hegemonic cycle, and the technological revolution represented by artificial intelligence and robots, are shaping international political economy.
