Dr Feng's research focuses on globalisation, international and Chinese political economy, with particular emphasis on the politics of trade, investment and finance, digital economy regulation, and Chinese politics. His work demonstrates a deep engagement with China's financial system, central banking policies, and economic reforms.

His recent publications reveal a growing interest in China's digital currency initiatives, mobile payment systems, and the geopolitical dimensions of China's economic policies.
