Biography
Peiwen is a PhD student from China. Before coming to King's, she completed her Master's in both China and the UK. Peiwen also has three years of working experience as a product manager at tech firms.
Her research interests relate to transnational and multinational companies, particularly those at the forefront of the tech war between China and the United States, such as Tiktok and Huawei.
Peiwen has been looking at the ongoing US tech blockade of China and trying to explore (possible) ways for Chinese firms to respond US sanctions. She would like to investigate how this technological cold war will affect the future of the world.
