PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE We launched the Asia Game Changers Awards eight years ago to identify and honor leaders who are making a positive contribution to the future of Asia. These awards are given annually to individuals, organizations, and movements that have inspired, enlightened, and shown true leadership in areas that reflect Asia Society’s core pillars of policy and business, arts and culture, and education.

This year, the Asia Society will honor path-breaking Asian Americans who are making a transformative impact on society, whether they are leaders in their fields or are working to address anti-Asian racism and violence—with the rise of brutal attacks against Asian Americans in the United States over the past year, efforts to educate, foster awareness and healing, and promote cross-cultural understanding are critical.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the enduring support of our Asia Game Changers founding partner, Citi, who embraced the awards from inception and continue to carry the torch with us. Their generosity has been matched many-fold by hundreds of supporters over the years. We are deeply grateful knowing that so many care for Asia Society and have continued to invest in its mission with this critical funding.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and our entire Asia Society family, thank you. I hope you enjoy what should be an inspirational event. We are excited to be able to connect our 13 Centers from around the world to join us in welcoming guests from across the Asia-Pacific and beyond. May you come away with a sense that the world can be a better place, and lifted by these stories to find your own way to connect and navigate our shared futures.

The Hon. Kevin Rudd AC President & CEO, Asia Society

RABBI ANGELA WARNICK BUCHDAHLL For connecting communities beyond religion, race, or nationality

HONOREE

Raised in Tacoma, Washington, by a white Jewish father and a Korean Buddhist mother, Angela Buchdahl took to Judaism at a young age, studying religion at Yale and becoming ordained as a rabbi before her 30th birthday — the first Asian American to become a rabbi in North America.

In 2014, Buchdahl became the first woman to lead New York’s Central Synagogue in its 180-year history. Her sermons have attracted a wide following, drawing large audiences both in the synagogue’s sanctuary and via online streaming reaching viewers in more than 100 countries.

The popularity of Buchdahl’s message has resonated — she has appeared widely in the national media, and was named one of the country’s 50 most prominent rabbis.

Buchdahl has used her remarkable story — as an Asian American woman leading one of America’s largest Jewish congregations — to promote a more inclusive definition of Jewishness. “Even though I had a Jewish father, with my Asian American face, I would never really be Jewish,” she says. In a widely shared Yom Kippur sermon delivered last September, Buchdahl rejected such notions — instead defining faith as a family: “Race is something we view as inherited and unchanging, but there are many ways to become family.”

DR. MORRIS CHANG For connecting billions across the world — one microchip at a time

HONOREE

You might not know the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). But there’s a good chance one of its products is sitting in your pocket. One of the world’s most successful semiconductor companies, TSMC chips are found in everything from fighter jets to iPhones. The secret to its success? Founder Morris Chang.

Born in mainland China in 1931, Chang founded TSMC in 1987 following a long, successful career in the United States with Texas Instruments. His basic insight was that companies with innovative semiconductor design lacked the capacity to manufacture them.

TSMC, he reasoned, had the factory space to do it for them. The idea worked. Today, TSMC produces more than 12 million semiconductor wafers a year for more than 500 customers, and employs more than 51,000 workers. As the company grew, Chang instilled it with the values he had personally embodied his whole life: integrity, commitment, innovation, and trust.

“The world is full of successful people, but heroes are rare,” Jen-Hsun Huang, the co-founder of Nvidia, says of Chang. “There is a difference between success and impact. I think Morris – his career, his philosophies, TSMC, its strategy, its core values – is absolutely a study in industrial revolution.”

DR. DAVID HO For pioneering work on deadly viruses — across two generations

HONOREE

For most virologists working today, the effort to stop COVID-19 will define their careers. Not David Ho. In the mid-1990s, Ho was instrumental in developing protease inhibitor drug cocktails that turned AIDS into a manageable disease — something that has saved countless lives in the quarter century since. The achievement led Time magazine to select Ho as its 1996 “Man of the Year.” Magic Johnson, the basketball star whose HIV diagnosis marked a watershed moment in the fight against the disease, credits Ho for saving his life.

But Ho has not rested on his laurels — reflecting a discipline he developed as a Taiwanese immigrant who came to the United States, speaking no English, at the age of 12. “People get to this new world, and they want to carve out a place in it,” he says. “The result is dedication and a higher work ethic.”

Since the coronavirus began spreading in early 2020, the 68-yearold Ho and his colleagues at Columbia University have conducted tireless research into monoclonal antibodies, drugs that may lessen the lethality of the virus. The task is far from complete.

But without question, Dr. Ho’s dedication to protecting Americans from two generation-defining viruses has cemented his scientific legacy. Just take it from his mother. “He’s kind of a genius, you know” she said, after he was named Man of the Year. “I’m not supposed to say that, but it’s true.”

SAL KHAN For proving that a good education can be provided to anyone, anywhere

HONOREE

In 2004, a Boston-based hedge fund analyst named Sal Khan learned that his cousin Nadia, a 7th grader in New Orleans, was struggling with math.

Sal tutored her through some challenging problems and then posted his lesson online. To his amazement, the tutorial received thousands of visits.

Khan didn’t know it then — but his life’s work had begun.

In 2008, Khan established Khan Academy, a non-profit institution with a simple mission: providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. More than a decade later, the academy features more than 70,000 practice problems, as well as quizzes, videos and articles across a range of subjects — many produced by Khan himself — and now boasts nearly 18 million learners per month across 51 languages in 190 countries.

The academy has even been called “the future of education.”

The future arrived much sooner than anyone thought. When the coronavirus began to spread around the world in early 2020, more han one billion children around the world suddenly lost access to school. Khan found himself an indispensable resource for teachers, students, and parents everywhere. “Only by pulling out all the stops can we have a chance to ensure that what is already a health care and economic crisis doesn’t also leave an entire generation of learners with insurmountable gaps in their education,” he says.

SUNISA LEE For competing with grace under pressure and making Olympic history

HONOREE

When the Tokyo Olympic Games began in July, Sunisa “Suni” Lee had already made history as the first Hmong American to compete in the quadrennial sporting event. It turned out that Lee’s journey had just begun. On July 29, the 18-year-old gymnast from St. Paul, Minnesota, became the first Asian American to win all around gold in women’s gymnastics.

Lee’s vault to fame reflected not only her own talent and hard work but also the support of her family: Her father John built a wooden balance beam in the backyard so that young Suni could practice. In 2019, John fell from a ladder and became paralyzed. Suni considered withdrawing from an important tournament — but John wouldn’t have it. “You’ve worked so hard for it,” he told her. “Just go.”

The Games’ prohibition of spectators prevented Lee’s family from seeing her perform in person in Tokyo — but their raucous cheers from home inspired television viewers around the world. In spite of pressure from competing in her sport’s greatest stage, Lee exuded preternatural grace and calm.

“I just told myself to take a deep breath,” she says, “and do what I always do.”

KIM NG For shattering the glass ceiling in America’s national pastime Kim Ng was born for a life in sports. “I was the kid that was perpetually dirty, with scabs on my knees,” she says. Ng grew up in Long Island and New Jersey, the oldest of five girls. After a stellar softball career at the University of Chicago, Ng got her first job in Major League Baseball in 1991, when she secured an internship with the Chicago White Sox.

HONOREE

In the next two decades, she rose through the ranks. Running a team of her own, though, proved elusive. Ng interviewed at least five times for open general manager positions, only for a man to be hired instead.

Late last year, when the Miami Marlins approached her about their general manager opening, Ng braced herself for disappointment — but she was determined to give it a shot: “The only thing I knew is that I wouldn’t get the job if I didn’t try.”

At long last, it happened. At 52, Ng isn’t just the second person of Asian descent to serve as a baseball general manager. She’s the first woman — ever. It’s an achievement that earned her accolades from Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton and her childhood hero, Billie Jean King. But for Ng, being a trailblazer is nothing new. “I was always a little bit of a rule breaker,” she says.

SUNDAR PICHAI For harnessing the power of technology to change people’s lives.

As the CEO of Google and its parent company Alphabet, Sundar Pichai runs one of the most impactful high-tech organizations in the world.

But the first piece of technology that changed his life was a rotary telephone.

HONOREE

Growing up in Chennai, India, Pichai remembers the day the phone arrived — five years after his parents had applied for it — and how neighbors would come over to use it to connect with family far away: “It showed me the power of what’s possible with technology,” he says.

It’s an insight he’s put to good use. Pichai arrived in the U.S. in 1993 to attend graduate school, and started at Google in 2004.. He soon began making an impact, helping launch Chrome, Google’s web browser, in 2007. In 2015, he was named CEO — a promotion Pichai approached with characteristic modesty.

He took over Alphabet in 2019. Under Pichai’s leadership, Google and Alphabet have continued to grow, creating products that are helpful to users in moments that matter while pursuing technologies of the future, from machine learning and AI to quantum computing. But the 49-year-old Pichai does not forget where he comes from. “India is deeply within me, a big part of who I am,” he says.

PRESIDENT & CEO

THE HON. KEVIN RUDD AC President & CEO, Asia Society President, Asia Society Policy Institute 26th Prime Minister of Australia Kevin Rudd became president and CEO of Asia Society in January 2021 and has been president of the Asia Society Policy Institute since January 2015. He served as Australia’s 26th Prime Minister from 2007 to 2010, then as Foreign Minister from 2010 to 2012, before returning as Prime Minister in 2013.

As Prime Minister, Rudd led Australia’s response during the Global Financial Crisis. Australia’s fiscal response to the crisis was reviewed by the IMF as the most effective stimulus strategy of all member states. Australia was the only major advanced economy not to go into recession. Rudd is also internationally recognized as one of the founders of the G20, which drove the global response to the crisis and in 2009 helped prevent the crisis from spiraling into a second global depression.

As Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Rudd was active in global and regional foreign policy leadership. He was a driving force in expanding the East Asia Summit (EAS) to include both the U.S. and Russia in 2010. He also initiated the concept of transforming the EAS into a wider Asia-Pacific community to help manage deep-rooted tensions in Asia by building over time the institutions and culture of common security in Asia. On climate change, Rudd ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 2007 and legislated in 2008 for a mandatory 20 percent renewable energy target for Australia. Rudd launched Australia’s challenge in the International Court of Justice with the objective of stopping Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean.

Rudd drove Australia’s successful bid for its current non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council and oversaw the near-doubling of Australia’s foreign aid budget.

Rudd is Chair of the Board of the International Peace Institute. He is a member of the IMF Managing Director’s External Advisory Group and the Global Leadership Council for Sanitation and Water for All. He is a Senior Fellow at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, a Distinguished Fellow at Chatham House in London, a Distinguished Statesman with the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington DC, and a Distinguished Fellow at the Paulson Institute in Chicago. Rudd is a member of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty Organization’s Group of Eminent Persons. He serves on the International Advisory Board of the Schwarzman Scholars program at Tsinghua University. Rudd is proficient in Mandarin Chinese. He remains actively engaged in indigenous reconciliation.

SPECIAL PERFORMANCE

YO-YO MA The cellist Yo-Yo Ma hardly needs an introduction. A global icon for decades, he has received countless awards and performed for eight U.S. presidents. He has recorded over 100 albums and won 19 Grammys. But Yo-Yo Ma has never been in it for the accolades — he considers himself a “citizen musician,” always looking for ways to help others. As the coronavirus crisis deepened, Ma found himself, like so many others, unsure what to do. So he sat and recorded a video of himself performing the song “Going Home” by Dvorak and posted it on Twitter. “In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort,” he tweeted, using the hashtag “#songsofcomfort.” The post garnered millions of views — so Ma added more. Days later, he recorded another performance, dedicating it to health workers on the frontlines of the COVID pandemic. Before long, #songsofcomfort had elicited an outpouring of contributions from across the classical music world as well as from musicians including James Taylor and The Indigo Girls.

“It’s really an invitation for everybody to join in,” Ma said. “This is what we can do for one another and be more communal.”

WU TONG Born into a musical family, Wu Tong graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music in 1994 and has appeared as soloist with the New York Philharmonic, London Sinfonietta, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. He is the founding vocalist of Lunhui (Again), the first rock band ever to appear on Chinese television. In 2008 he made his operatic debut in The Bonesetter’s Daughter (San Francisco Opera) and wrote the film score to Wong Kar-Wai’s Ashes of Time Redux. A nominee for Best Crossover Album at Taiwan’s 2011 Golden Melody Awards, he was named 2012 Musician of the Year by New York’s China Institute. In 2013, he premiered Zhao Lin’s Duo, a double concerto written for him and Yo-Yo Ma.

SPECIAL RECOGNITION

THE JOURNALISTS OF TOLO TV IN AFGHANISTAN TOLO TV was founded nearly two decades ago, creating - among other things - Afghanistan’s first 24-hour news, current affairs and business television network.

The TOLO News operation created a powerful new free-press outlet in a nation that had known no free or democratic media during the reign of the Taliban. For nearly 20 years, TOLOnews has captured the attention of a nation which craved fast, credible and reliable information as it happened. Over those years, TOLO TV became the nation’s most popular channel, and TOLONews its most trusted platform.

TOLO’s founder, Saad Mohseni, was given the Asia Society Game Changer Award in 2014, the first year of the Award’s existence.

“Since the inception of this initiative, the Asia Game Changer Awards have served to fill a gap, by honoring and celebrating those who have had great impact in Asia or in the Asian diaspora. This year, for the first time, we specifically honor Asian Americans, and those who have had transformative impact in the Asian American community. These people have inspired us, and they have inspired the world” —The Honorable Kevin Rudd AC, President & CEO, Asia Society, President, Asia Society Policy Institute, 26th Prime Minister of Australia The Asia Game Changers Awards, a premier event launched by Asia Society in 2014, has been our platform to recognize individuals and groups from every corner of Asia and every walk of life, whose actions have profoundly strengthened the bonds between Asia and the world.

In 2021, a time of trauma for the Asian American community, we honor and celebrate that community – those who have inspired the world with their achievements, and those who have seized this moment and brought positive change. We will continue to stand in solidarity with the Asian and Asian American communities and we are – as ever – committed to fostering greater cross-cultural understanding, empathy, and healing in our quest for a more equitable and just society. they have inspired their country and inspired the world.” We will continue to stand in solidarity with the Asian and Asian American communities.
