Wu is one of the preeminent economists in China, primarily specializing in economic policy as it applies to China’s ongoing series of economic reforms. He is affectionately referred to in the media as Wu Shichang (吴市场; “Market Wu”) because of his resolute conviction that socialism is compatible with a market system. Wu holds multiple positions such as Professor of Economics at both the China Europe International Business School and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; Senior Research Fellow for the Developmental Research Centre of the State Council of the PRC.
