A Synthetic observer: Interview with professor John Wong

Abstract

With his family origin rooted in Taishan, GuangDong, brought up in a typical Chinese migration background linking GuangZhou, Hong Kong, Canada and the UK, and finally settled himself down in Singapore, John Wong has traveled with different roles and changing positions alongside his career path. That experience cultivates in him a unique insight of China and allows him to skilfully look at China with different lens of focuses that suit most, as he tells in the interview.
