Modern China Episode 3: Fraud, bribes, and coverups: A brief history of China's Academic Scandals

This episode is another addition to the modern China series. Today we’re going to be talking about a deep rooted problem in China, that of frequent and recurrent academic scandals.

We discuss some of the most prominent examples in three different
categories: fake research, deleted research, and conflict of interest.
