Wen has devoted his career to rural economic reform, doing grassroots research on rural policymaking by the State Council. He has worked on policy studies at both central and local government levels on current affairs and macroeconomic and geo-strategy, on long-term issues, agriculture, and rural development. His academic research topics have focused on land rights, processing and market affairs, rural reconstruction and grassroots organizations, the burdens borne by farmers, taxation reform, financial affairs, and urbanization and migration.
Regarded as ‘one of China’s movers and shakers’ (Chinabiz Speakers, 2007) Wen is a prolific researcher who often speaks on rural reforms and development. For more than two decades, he has been advocating and leading the experimental rural reforms in China. Not simply a man of pure theory, Wen based his researches on massive field investigations across the country. Consequently, he has left his mark on the shaping of important policy issues related to the Chinese rural economy, including the abolishment of the agricultural tax, the necessity of medical reform, organic farming, urbanization of the countryside, and organization-building.
Wen is an influential adviser to the Chinese central government on its agricultural policies. He has also provided research and consultancy to numerous international organiza- tions, and served as a visiting scholar to more than 30 countries and regions all over the world. Besides being a senior consultant for the State Information and Research Center of Rural Economics, China Ministry of Agriculture, Wen also holds various titles, including the deputy secretary general for both the China Society of Economic Reform and the China Macroeconomic Research Foundation.
