Jostein Hauge, a Cambridge economist, pointed out that from 1969 to 2025, none of the 99 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences winners listed a mainland Chinese affiliation, sparking lively discussion. Some blame bias toward Western free-market ideas and exclusion of critics or state-led models, while others stress the award rewards theoretical work with a long impact lag, not policy outcomes.
