Huiyao (Henry) Wang (Chinese: 王辉耀; born July 2, 1958) is the founder and president of Center for China and Globalization (CCG), a think tank in China. Wang plays multiple policy advisory roles in China, as a counselor for the State Council appointed by Premier Li Keqiang in 2015, and honorable vice chairman of China Association for International Economic Cooperation (CAIEC) under the Ministry of Commerce. Wang also holds a number of positions in international organizations and educational institutions. He is steering committee member of the Paris Peace Forum, and a member of the Migration Advisory Board of International Organization of Migration (IOM) of United Nations. He is also the Dean of Institute of Development Studies of China Southwestern University of Finance and Economics and a member of the Duke Kunshan University Advisory Council. Wang frequently participates in the discussion and debates about global issues like China and globalization, global governance, international trade and investment, global migration and talent, as well as think tank development, such as Munich Security Conference, Munk Debates, Paris Peace Forum, and Athens Democracy Forum. Wang, an advocate for “Track II” diplomacy between China-foreign academic exchange, has joined and held multiple dialogues between Chinese and US think tanks and research institutes, including CSIS, the Hudson Institute, and Brookings Institution. He has also been interviewed by The New York Times, CNN, and BBC News for the perspectives on trade and globalization issues as well as China policies. Wang is a central committee member of the Jiusan Society, one of the country's eight legally-permitted minor political parties subservient to the Chinese Communist Party. According to a statement by the CCG, Wang is also vice chairman of the Western Returned Scholars Association, which is under the jurisdiction of the United Front Work Department of the Chinese Communist Party. In 2018, Wang's affiliation with the United Front Work Department attracted the attention of Senator Marco Rubio and sparked subsequent discussions of government influence with think tanks. Wang obtained his PhD degrees at the University of Western Ontario and University of Manchester. He was a senior fellow at Harvard Kennedy School and a visiting fellow at Brookings Institution.
