Liming Wang is Director of the Irish Institute for Chinese Studies in University College Dublin; Director of the Confucius Institute for Ireland; the Secretary General of the Chinese Economic Association (Europe); and a Board Director of the Institute of International Trade of Ireland.  He is co-author of Doing Business in China: The Irish experience and China's Grain Economy: The challenge of feeding more than a billion.

"The experience of combining Rising China in the Changing World Economy with recent research developments explaining both macro- and micro-level facts, gives us an opportunity to check which economic and political assumptions are essential to answer questions on the rapid growth of China. In doing so, we can keep on working towards an understanding of what drives China's great transformation and its hidden aspects as well as the relationships among them, and the reforms needed to address the micro-level problems that have resulted." - Tomohiro Machikita, Asia Research Centre, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark; The Copenhagen Journal of Asian Studies 30(2), 2012.
