I am a Ph.D. candidate in Politics at Princeton University. My research examines how China’s authoritarian state governs through markets, institutions, media, and global networks. In my dissertation, I study how consumer nationalism turns private purchasing into political mobilization and creates demand-side support for domestic firms. My broader work examines legal institutions, state media, overseas agents, and Chinese students at home and abroad. My work has been published in Comparative Political Studies and Political Communication, and is forthcoming in British Journal of Political Science.
