Congrats, world! These are drugs that have been doing a lot of good for decades.

Yes, that is true. However, China had been putting it's whole country's effort to make this happen. Thanks, China!
Ms Tu's work was done during the Cultural Revolution. While most of the scientific research and higher education activities were utterly disrupted by the politics, this research project was well protected and allocated resource because Mao needed this to help the communist side in the Vietnam war. Ms Tu does deserve the prize, and it is a great news for the country, but IMO China would have contributed much more to science if it was not "putting it's whole country's effort to make this happen".

> IMO China would have contributed much more to science if it was not "putting it's whole country's effort to make this happen".
How do you come to this conclusion? If China was not "putting it's whole country's effort to make this happen", then Ms Tu's work will be delayed, but hopefully the funds can now go into some other research. But does that necessarily mean "much more to science" in the net outcome?
