In 2002, he headed the very important Central Policy Research Office and joined the Politburo Standing Committee – the CPC's top decision-making body – in 2017. He is widely regarded by outside observers as one of the most influential theorists in the country, which de facto makes him one of the most influential theorists in the world.He has written several books, including National Sovereignty (1987), Comparative Political Analysis (1987), An Analysis of Contemporary Western Political Science (1987), Fighting Corruption: China's Experiment (1990), and co-edited books such as Logic of Politics: Marxist Principles of Political Science (1989). His advisor at Fudan University before he became a professor was Chen Qiren, an authority on Marx's works and Das Kapital. Wang's thesis was titled, "From Bodin to Maritain: On Sovereignty Theories Developed by the Western Bourgeoisie." His book National Sovereignty is a historical survey of the concept, tying it in with Marxist-Leninist concepts of national equality and self-determination.The book covers a wide range of topics regarding the United States ranging from his observations about: Manhattan, Chinatown, "the heights of commodification," the Amish and the Amana colonies and the decline of farming; the American political spirit and the American national character, the space shuttle program, and America's "multileveled social control" system which includes the "invisible hand" and the "money-managed society," the legal culture and taxation system and its scientific administrators. There is a chapter of "interwoven political power" which he called the "rule of donkey and elephant," the party share-spoiling system, lobbyists, radical organizations and the contradiction between pluralism and meritocracy. He spends a chapter on the 1988 presidential election, and spends another chapter on the "political pyramid" from Congress to the states to county politics. That is followed by a chapters on "soft governance" and "reproducing the system" which covers driver's licenses, workplace principles ("a company is not a democracy"), a visit to the Coca-Cola headquarters, and sections on the education system, MIT, the Kennedy School of Government, the U.S. Naval Academy, etc.Lastly, there is a chapter on "active intelligence" (think tanks) and "hidden crises." This last chapters covers family values, wandering youths, the criminal underworld, beggars, racism against black people and Native Americans, and whether America is facing a looming "spiritual crisis" of values."
