WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) Ezra Vogel, professor emeritus at Harvard University and a renowned China scholar, passed away at the age of 90 on Sunday.
For many who know him from personal experience, the fluent Mandarin-speaking scholar will be remembered for his warmth, humor and generosity as well as his wisdom and insight on China, Japan and East Asia. MY FATHER LOVED CHINA AND THE CHINESE PEOPLE My father loved China and the Chinese people. His hope was always that China would forge better relations with both Japan and the United States. We in the next generations in all three countries have a lot of work to do to realize that vision, Steven Vogel, a professor of Political Science, University of California, Berkeley, told Xinhua via email on Monday.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) Ezra Vogel, professor emeritus at Harvard University and a renowned scholar on China, passed away at the age of 90 on Sunday, according to the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our former director Ezra Vogel (1930-2020), said the center on Twitter. He was a true champion of our center, an erudite scholar, and a wonderful friend. He will be truly missed.
The passing of Vogel is a huge blow to the field, especially at this critical time, because Ezra was a major supporter of the effort to inject greater sanity and balance into US thinking about China, tweeted Michael Swaine, director of the East Asia Program at Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.
