The CAE just bloated its organisation with 74 new members. More than makes up for all the deaths in recent years.

Here...

 

Members of CAE born 1927 or before

 

Xu Chengen 徐承恩 (21 January 1927-) "expert in petrochemical engineering design and refining technology"

 

To be continued later - lots of future centenarians there. CAE should have much less nonagenarian members especially after half of them died from covid in December-January.

Xu Chengen dead at 96.

Biblical scholar and retired Professor of Old Testament Studies at King's College, London, Michael Knibb reportedly dead: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/professor-michael-a-knibb

 

Dead since 6th December, yet his Wiki not yet updated. ;)

 

Old Testament Studies? I'll bet that isn't on the Tory "this is a crap university course undeserving of public funding" hitlist, but who knows?

China has CAE and CAS, Taiwan has Academia Sinica. It has 281 Academicians, lots of them also from Mainland China. Here's a list of those born 1932 and before:

 

Ye Xuan (1 Dec 1916-) Engineering scientist, member since 1970. As far as I know still alive and the doyen of AS.

Yang Chen-Ning (1 Oct 1922-) Ancient Physics Nobel recipient who needs no introduction here. Member since 1958. 

Theodore Y. Wu (30 Mar 1924-) Chinese-born US fluid dynamics engineer. Member since 1983.

*snip*

 


Third oldest on your list, Theodore Y. Wu (wiki) died in mid-December, aged 99 as per this obit.
