Jing Li
My research explores China’s growing influence and its effects on international politics. I specialize in the study of industrial policies and their impact on geopolitical competition, which ultimately influences the ascension and decline of nations.
Using a multi-method approach, I integrate research from Chinese and Spanish sources and incorporate my experiences from growing up in China and studying Spanish in Guatemala and Mexico.
I also enjoy dancing, which brings both discipline and creativity to my life.
