Education

Kuhn received a bachelor's degree in human biology from Johns Hopkins University (Phi Beta Kappa) in 1964, a PhD in anatomy and brain research from the University of California, Los Angeles' Brain Research Institute in 1968 and a master of science in management as a Sloan fellow from the MIT Sloan School of Management in 1980.[7]

Career

Early career

Kuhn first came to prominence in 1972 when "Why the Vast Difference between Animal Brain and Human Mind?" appeared in The Plain Truth magazine published by Ambassador College, an institution of the Worldwide Church of God (WCG). The WCG's Systematic Theology Project[8] was coordinated by Kuhn, but later banned by WCG Founder Herbert W. Armstrong. Kuhn severed his connection to the WCG and its affiliates (1978), including the Ambassador International Cultural Foundation (classical music concerts, featuring musicians including Vladimir Horowitz and Luciano Pavarotti), which Kuhn had created and managed.

During the 1980s, Kuhn represented American and Japanese companies in mergers and acquisitions.

China

Kuhn was awarded the China Reform Friendship Medal by Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Chinese leaders at the celebration of the 40th anniversary of China’s reform and opening up (December 18, 2018). The medal, China’s highest award, honors 10 foreigners who facilitated China’s reform and opening up over the four decades. Five of the foreigners are living; Kuhn is one of two Americans.[9][10] For 30 years, Kuhn, with his long-time partner Adam Zhu, has worked with China’s state leaders and advised the Chinese government.

During the 19th CPC National Congress (October 2017), Kuhn was interviewed extensively, including multiple times on CNN, BBC World News and BBC World Service, CGTN, and CCTV, and he was quoted extensively. His full-page, in-depth analyses of the 19th CPC National Congress were featured in China Daily to open the Congress ("Historical Starting Point for New Stage of Development")[11] and to close the Congress ("New Era on the Road to 2050").[12]

Kuhn has written on CCP general secretary Xi Jinping's "core" status in the Chinese Communist Party ("Why China needs Xi Jinping as its core leader")[13] and the elimination of term limits for China's leadership ("Xi Jinping's power has a purpose—one person to see China through its development plans").[14]

Kuhn provided the live commentary on CNN during CCP general secretary Xi Jinping's policy address in Seattle on September 2, 2015, during Xi's state visit to the US.[15] Kuhn spoke at the launch ceremony of Xi's book, entitled Xi Jinping: The Governance of China, at the Frankfurt Book Fair on October 8, 2014.[16]

Kuhn writes on Xi's Four Comprehensives political theory of governance,[17][18] and on understanding the Communist Party of China (CPC).[19][20]

In 1989, he was invited to China by the director of the State Science and Technology Commission, Song Jian, whom Kuhn considers his mentor.[21] Since then he has worked with China's senior leaders and advised the Chinese government on international, policy and business matters.

Kuhn is the author of How China's Leaders Think: The Inside Story of China's Past, Current and Future Leaders, featuring exclusive discussions with more than 100 Chinese leaders and featuring CCP leader Xi Jinping.[21][22]

Kuhn advises and works with China leaders on special projects. When then-Vice President Xi visited the US in February 2012, Kuhn advised and gave commentaries and interviews. He advised Zhejiang Province for Zhejiang Party Secretary Xi's 2006 U.S. visit as well.

Kuhn is the host and co-producer of Closer To China with R.L. Kuhn, a weekly series on China Global Television Network (CGTN); co-created and co-produced by Adam Zhu, it tells the story of China through discussions with China's thought leaders and decision-makers in all sectors.[26]

Kuhn created, writes and presents The Watcher[27], short commentaries on China, and Xi’s Deep Message[28], short commentaries on the activities, trips, speeches, statements and policies of CCP leader Xi Jinping (averaging over one million views, including in China). Adam Zhu is co-creator and producer.

The series focuses on critical issues confronting China's leaders and government (social problems like healthcare, economic transformation and pollution, political reform and transparency, science and innovation, beliefs and values). China's Challenges II, focusing on the Chinese Dream, was broadcast on PBS stations in 2015. China’s Challenges won China News Awards (first prize, 2013, 2018; second prize, 2015), Emmy (Los Angeles, 2016), and Telly Awards (2017, 2018). and won an Emmy (Los Angeles, 2016) and .

For the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, Kuhn co-produced (with Shanghai Media Group), wrote and presented a five-episode TV series, China's Challenges, on China's key domestic issues and problems that China's new leaders face.[34] Kuhn was selected by Oriental Outlook magazine (published by Xinhua News Agency) as one of the all-time top-ten influential supporters of China's ruling party/CPC (the only one living).

Kuhn has written many articles. "Science as Democratizer", featured in American Scientist magazine, argued how the scientific way of thinking can influence global society. His scientific / philosophical article "Why This Universe? Toward a Taxonomy of Possible Explanations" is published in Skeptic Magazine and "Levels of Nothing" in the Vol. 18.2 2013 issue.
