Draft:Zichen Wang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zichen Wang is the founding author of Pekingnology, a major China newsletter,[1] and a Chinese thinktank analyst credited with "bridging the understanding Gap between the U.S. and China"[2] and refered to as "a rising star amongst Chinese public intellectuals."[3] An expert on China and its foreign policy, he has been increasingly widely quoted in international mainstream media[4][5][6][7][8][9]. Foreign Policy calls[10] him a "China expert." Adam Tooze called Pekingnology an "amazing blog" in an Odd Lots podcast by Bloomberg[11].

He was a journalist for China's state-run Xinhua News Agency for over 11 years, including two and a half years as its chief European Union Correspondent, and then a Research Fellow and Director for International Communications at Center for China and Globalization.[12][13] Since July 2024, he is a student[14] at the fully-funded[15] and elite mid-career Master in Public Policy[16] (MPP) program at Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, one of very few Chinese mainland students ever admitted there.

Wang has been invited to speak at the Swiss Parliament on foreign policy[17] and State of Asia 2024[18] by Asia Society Switzerland.

Gereme Barme, a noted Australian sinologist and teacher[19] of Kevin Rudd, after repeatedly highlighting[20][21][22] Wang's work, believes[23] Wang "partake of a hallowed tradition in which canny  authors ‘write between the lines’." Wang's skills "is a well-honed art that enables writers of all kinds to communicate uncomfortable truths within the boundaries of permitted speech," says Germee Barme, and Wang's work "hint at a possibility, no matter how distant in the future, when a multiplicity of Chinese voices may be heard."
