Huge congratulations to PKU alumni Wang Hong and Deng Yu, recipients of the 2026 Fields Medal — mathematics’ highest honor! 🧮
Announced at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Philadelphia, the pair are among four mathematicians worldwide to claim this prestigious prize, awarded every four years to outstanding scholars under 40.
The awards are historic on several levels.
—First time two mathematicians who completed undergraduate studies in mainland China win the Fields Medal in the same year.
—Both joined Peking University as undergraduates in 2007.
—Wang Hong becomes only the third female Fields Medalist ever, the first Chinese woman, and the first recipient with a bachelor’s degree from a mainland Chinese university.
We are immensely proud of their extraordinary breakthroughs and lasting contributions to global mathematics.

Honored to have been invited to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the 5 principles of peaceful coexistence today at the Great Hall of the People, with Xi Jinping, Li Qiang and Wang Yi.
On my way there now. Will do my best to tweet out about the event as it happens, adding to this post as a 🧵!
Latest issue of @cjip_journal (17/3 2024) has essays on Chinese school of IR Theory by Peter Katzenstein ("Is There a Chinese School of IR Theory?"); and Ren Xiao ("Why there is Now Non-Western International Relations Theory").
The debate started in 2007 when myself & Barry Buzan edited a special issue of International Relations
of the Asia-Pacific @OxfordJournals "Why is there no-Western IR Theory" which is still its most cited article.

Qin Yaqing's article in the same special issue is the journal's 2nd most cited, & gave the idea of a Chinese IR school international prominence.
I took up the topic again as part of the Global IR agenda in this open access @cjip_journal article in 2019.
(From Heaven to Earth: ‘Cultural Idealism’ and ‘Moral Realism’ as Chinese Contributions to Global International Relations) https://t.co/qtNOj0EKj1 Mine was a sympathetic but critical take on Chinese relationalism and moral realism.
The thing has taken on a life of its own! With many other scholars joining in.
While some may disagree, it gave Asian IR scholarship a much needed theoretical turn, with spillovers into wider IR debates, exactly as we had hoped for in 2007. Hard to think of many other efforts in Asian IR theory which stirred such debate and scholarship.
