Research Interests: International Communication ICTs Intercultural Communication Telecommunications Policy	Current Research: A study is conducted to examine the differences in communication patterns between Chinese and Americans in conflict resolution. It tests the applicability of Thomas-Kilmann's Conflict MODE Instrument (1974) in the Chinese context. The preliminary observation is that Chinese tend to adopt a long-term relationship buidling approach in negotiation during conflicts rather than an approach which treats negotiation as discrete rounds of manipulation to obtain maximum gains for their side. This study throws light to a cultural-context approach to communication studies.

Advice to students: Professionalism is more than knob-turning or key-punching.	Teaching Interests: International Communication Telecommunications Policy Statistics for Communication Studies Communication Theories
