Dr. Leng's research centers on Cross-Strait Relations between Taiwan and China, integrating International Relations Theory with empirical analysis of globalization's political economy and urban development in China. His work examines institutional frameworks in Chinese governance, municipal economic roles, and biodiversity policy comparisons across the Taiwan Strait, reflecting deep engagement with both theoretical and policy-oriented political science.

His publications (2006-2010) demonstrate consistent focus on Chinese governance evolution, cross-strait policy comparisons, and urban political economy. Key works analyze local governance during China's reform era, biodiversity conservation frameworks, and centrally-administered municipalities as national development engines, spanning disciplines including comparative politics, environmental policy, and urban studies.
