Sorry pal, China is still like this: Authorities also tightened press restrictions. The State Administration of Press Publication, Radio, Film, and Television issued a directive in July requiring that Chinese journalists sign an agreement stating that they will not release unpublished information without prior approval from their employers and requiring that they pass political ideology exams before they can be issued official press cards. In July, the CCP’s disciplinary commission announced that researchers at the central Chinese Academic of Social Sciences had been “infiltrated by foreign forces” and participated in “illegal collusion” during politically sensitive periods. The party subsequently issued a rule that would make ideological evaluation a top requirement for assessing CASS researchers; those who fail are to be expelled. https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2015/country-chapters/china-and-tibet#eaa21f https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2015/country-chapters/china... Academic Fraud in China: http://www.chinesemedicalnews.com/2015/03/academic-fraud-in-china-43-medical.html http://www.chinesemedicalnews.com/2015/03/academic-fraud-in-... The open access publisher BioMedCentral has this week announced the retraction of 43 medical journal publications by Chinese researchers after it discovered widespread peer review fraud. Most of the articles were submitted by medical researchers at universities in China, including China Medical University, Sichuan University, Shandong University and Jiaotong University Medical School.
