In May of 2008, Foreign Policy magazine, published in the United States, named Prof. Hui as one of the top 100 public intellectuals in the world.

Prof. Hui's research focuses on contemporary Chinese literature, intellectual history, society and politics. In his acclaimed work, China's New Order: Society, Politics, and Economy in Transition, he analyses China's transformation since 1989, critiquing the country's economic reforms, social polarization, and political corruption. 

In this interview for United Nations University Conversation Series on Global Justice, Prof. Hui asks what it means to "think globally" at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
