Singapore, Nov. 22 (CNA) A new cold war between the United States and China resembling that between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the 20th century is unlikely, but a rivalry could be unavoidable, Wang Gungwu (王賡武), the Tang Prize laureate in Sinology, said recently.
Eight of last year’s Tang Prize laureates yesterday received their awards at a virtual ceremony to recognize their significant contributions in the fields of primatology, immunology, sinology and law.
The awards ceremony took place in Taipei yesterday afternoon after a one-year postponement due to COVID-19.
The laureates included British primatologist Jane Goodall, who was awarded the sustainable development prize for her groundbreaking work that redefines the relationship between humans and animals, the Tang Prize Foundation said.
Goodall thanked the foundation for the award, which she said would enable her and the Jane Goodall Institute to “do so much more.”
