His publications, in English and Chinese, consist of work in cultural studies, including a volume on Stuart Hall, and on imperialism and postcolonial criticism. His recent edited volume, Trajectories: Cultural Studies Inter-Asia (Routledge, 2000, in English and Chinese), has contributed to the reshaping of cultural study in East Asia.

Forthcoming books include Intellectual Moods and Geo-Colonial Sites: Cultural Studies from the Postmodern to Decolonization (in press in Chinese), and The Imperialist Eye: The Decolonization Question.
