My name is CHEN Chaofan, you can just call me “Frank.” I am a dedicated researcher specialising in International Relations, with a specific focus on China.

My academic interests include International Relations, Chinese Foreign Policy, the Domestic Dynamics of Foreign Policy, China, the Geopolitics of the Asia-Pacific region, Global Governance and Order, as well as Tertiary Education. My scholarly work has been published in the Journal of Contemporary China (where I currently hold the position of invited reviewer) and in book chapters with Springer Nature and other esteemed publishers (including two published volumes, one under revision, and one under contract). For a comprehensive list of my publications, please refer to the following link: Click HERE.

I hold a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Government and Public Administration from the School of Governance and Policy Science at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (awarded in October 2025; advisor: Associate Professor Seanon S. Wong 黄诗朗副教授). Prior to that, I earned a Bachelor of Social Sciences (First-Class Honours) in Globalisation and Development from Hong Kong Baptist University in 2023, under the guidance of Professor Simon XB Zhao 赵晓斌教授, along with a Certificate of Graduation in Social Studies from Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University.

I am also an enthusiast of classical music and tennis (mostly with my colleagues from CUHK). I enjoy organising events in academic and social spheres and have a profound passion for travel and diverse cultural experiences.
