Dong Xian'an (Chinese: 董先安; Chinese: TUNG Sin On; born 24 July 1973), also known by the pen names Dong Zhizhi and Dong Muyang, is a Chinese economist known for his research on China's economic transition, regional income disparities, and policy endogeneity. Born in Jingzhou, Hubei, China, he relocated to Hong Kong in 2013 and became a permanent resident in 2020.
Academic background
From 1989 to 1993, Dong studied at Zhejiang University (formerly Hangzhou University), earning a bachelor's degree in finance.[citation needed] Between 1998 and 2001, he obtained a master's degree in systems engineering from Beijing Jiaotong University.[citation needed] From 2001 to 2004, he was a PhD candidate at the China Center for Economic Research (now National School of Development) at Peking University, co-authoring working papers such as Information Technology, Economic Growth, and Social Transformation (No. C2003006, 2003) and Technology Choice, Technology Diffusion, and Economic Convergence((No.C2002017, 2002).[1][2][3]
In July 2004, Dong traveled to Michigan, United States, to study classical languages, retaining his PhD candidate status, and returned to Beijing in July 2007.[4] His doctoral dissertation, Regional Income Disparities in China: 1952–2002, had core chapters published in Economic Research Journal (2004, Issue 9) and included in the United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER) publication Income Inequality and Poverty in Transition China (2006). It was also selected as the lead paper in China Economics 2004.[5][6][7] Due to not completing the defense, he received a PhD completion certificate (#100011200701000666,as his online CV shows).
Career
In October 2007, Dong entered the securities industry with a master's degree, serving as an analyst at Cinda Securities, a senior analyst at Southwest Securities, and chief analyst at Industrial Securities. In 2010, he received the 8th New Fortune Best Analyst Award.[8][9] In March 2011, he co-founded Peking First Advisory (Anyin Leading Investment Management Co., Ltd.) with three Peking University alumni, focusing on independent economic research. The company ceased operations in December 2012.[10]
Publications and commentary
In 2001, under the pen name Dong Muyang, he published "Will Abolishing the Hukou System Lead to a Mass Influx of Farmers" in Dushu, contributing to discussions on hukou reform. The article was included in Reform: Reflection and Progress (2007).[11] On 9 September 2012, he published "Inflation is Making a Comeback: Policy Endogeneity and Growth Challenges" on Sina Finance, reasoning China's economic growth would slow to 6–7% and highlighting real estate risks. The article was republished by Economic Information Daily and CCTV Finance.[12][13] After 2012, Dong and his company did not publicly release further economic analyses.
In 2025, he plans to publish China’s Economic Odyssey 2001-2025, Policy Endogeneity and Growth Challenges, summarizing his insights on China's economic transition.[14]
Later life
After his company ceased operations in December 2012, Dong relocated to Hong Kong in 2013 and became a permanent resident in 2020, working in retail and catering.
