I am also Expert of Think Tank for Environmental Management of Chemicals and Waste, Asia-pacific Regional Centre of Basel Convention, Member of China Biogas Society, Member of China Association of Agricultural Science Societies, etc. I am Leading guest editor for special issue on “Sustainable Sanitation- How Can We Improve Sanitation Systems in the Global South?” in Frontier in Environmental Science (IF=5.4, Q2).

Motivation/Commitment to the GSC
I like to communicate with people who works on WASH and sanitation. I have good connection with Chinese stakeholders on sanitation and I am organizer for sanitation workshop, study tour, training, etc. I have built good network with the global communities in over 20 countries. I have good communication with Mr. Paresh Chhajed-Picha and Dr. Elisabeth von Muench who encouraged me to contribute to SuSanA forum on behalf of China. I have already treated myself as coordinator of SuSanA for China. I am happy to share Chinese WASH stories with international colleagues.
Is there anything else you would like to say to the SuSanA community?
I joined SusanA when I was a master student in 2007 and I worked for China-Sweden Ordos Eco-San Project (funded by SEI) at that time. I am familiar with SusanA family and I worked in more than 10 countries for sanitation projects with my colleagues Mr. Heinz-Peter Mang and Elisabeth Huba-Mang. You will also find my publications in SusanA library.
