Nobel laureate Steven Chu warned in an exclusive conversation with CGTN's Tian Wei that cutthroat geopolitics could disrupt the Chinese mainland-U.S. collaboration in battery technology, calling it "a shame". He stressed that science transcends borders and underscored the importance of science diplomacy, where "building trust is key to international relations."
Chu emphasized that conflicts in any form—be it political tensions or cold/hot wars—harm both societies. He believes that dialogues led by scientists can create the mutual trust needed to ease geopolitical strains, paving the way for advancements that impact our daily lives, from powering smartphones to fueling electric vehicles. 🚀🌏
For our tech-savvy and globally connected generation in South and Southeast Asia, this message resonates strongly. In a world where innovation is key, embracing science as a universal language can help us overcome boundaries and drive sustainable progress. Let’s unite over science and work together for a brighter, collaborative future!
