Having completed my bachelor’s degree at the Central University of financial and Economics, and following a master’s degree in European Union Law at the University of Macau, I began my doctoral work on laws at The Chinese University of Hong Kong on 1 September 2018. I am, at the same time, a practicing lawyer in Mainland China. My interest is in international economic law and interdisciplinary study of law and geoeconomics within the wider field of global governance. My working thesis title is ‘The Legal Framework of China-European Union Economic Relations-A Normative Analysis in the Context of the Belt and Road Initiative and China’s Evolving Economic Diplomacy.’ I aim to elaborate upon, and to evaluate, the normative process(es) of Sino-EU economic relations, including its potential to alter global governance.
