Assistant Professor Dr. Brian Wong

Dr. Brian Wong is an Assistant Professor in Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong. His research examines the intersection of geopolitics, political and moral philosophy, and technology, with particular interests in the ethics and dynamics of non-democratic regimes and their foreign policies, responding to historical and colonial injustices, and the impact of automation on labour and human societies. 

Dr. Brian Wong is a Fellow at the newly established Centre on Contemporary China and the World and a member of the Steering Committee of the Hong Kong Ethics Lab at the University of Hong Kong. As the Chief Strategy Officer of the HK-ASEAN Foundation, he advises multinational corporations, family offices, and leading think-tanks on geopolitical affairs and macro risks throughout Asia. Having co-founded and served as the inaugural Editor-in-Chief at the Oxford Political Review, a publication aspiring to bridge the theory-practice gap, Brian serves as a columnist at the Hong Kong Economic Journal. His writings on Chinese political economy, Asian geopolitics, and public philosophy have been featured in publications such as TIME, Foreign Policy, Aeon, Financial Times, Diplomat, Fortune, The Hindu, South China Morning Post, Nikkei, Japan Times, and the US-Asia Law Institute. 

Dr. Brian Wong has also been interviewed by CNN, Al Jazeera, and CGTN for his views on Chinese foreign policy.
