He was Dean of the School of International Studies at Peking University from 2005 to 2013. He has been Peking University Boya Chair Professor since 2017.[1][2]
In addition to his academic work, Wang has been "closely associated with China's Ministry of State Security for decades", joining undercover MSS officers, including then-head of the MSS United States operations bureau Lin Di and a spy previously declared persona non grata for falsely posing as a journalist, on trips to Japan and the US. He also served as an early member of the China International Culture Exchange Center, a front run by the 12th Bureau of the MSS.[3]
Early life
Wang was born in Canton (now Guangzhou) in 1948.[4] He worked as a farm laborer from 1968 to 1978, then obtained a MA degree at Peking University in 1983.[1]
Career
Wang taught at the Peking University Department of International Politics from 1983 to 1991.[1] Wang was a visiting academic at Oxford University (1982–83), University of California, Berkeley (1984–85), University of Michigan (1990–91), and Claremont McKenna College (2001).[1]
From 1992 to 2005, Wang was Director of the Institute of American Studies, at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; he was invited to the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies as endowed chair from 21 to 25 February and from 2 to 8 March 2002.[1][5] at what was then known as Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies, within Nanyang Technological University.[6]
Wang was Dean of the School of International Studies at Peking University from 2005 to 2013, then President of the Institute of International and Strategic Studies, a think tank affiliated with Peking University. He was concurrently director of the Institute of International Strategic Studies at the Central Party School of the Chinese Communist Party from 2001 to 2009.[1]
From 2008 to 2016 he was a member of the Foreign Policy Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China.[1]

At the same time, Wang has been closely associated with the MSS for decades. He became a member of the Social Investigation Bureau's CICEC front group in the early 1990s, joining its strange medley of scholars, artists and undercover officers, like future Minister of State Security Geng Huichang. Even before then, Wang was joining MSS officers on trips to Japan (including one who had previously been declared persona non grata while posing as a journalist) and the United States. As head of American studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in the early 1990s, Wang was a colleague of MSS US operations guru Lin Di, who covertly managed the academy's foreign exchanges for many years.
