Financial Times: Chinese science shaken by faked chip research...
Roto-Reuters: Veil of silence over sacked academic...
Chinese authorities drew a veil of silence on Monday over the sacking of a professor for falsely claming to have invented a new type of computer chip, refusing to say whether he would be prosecuted.
The firing of the academic at Shanghai's renowned Jiao Tong University, the alma mater of former Chinese president Jiang Zemin, represents a setback in China's stated goal of moving up the global value chain by boosting technological innovation. (Thanks to Drudge for the heads up.)
Oh, well...that's different. If it's Jiang Zemin's alma mater, this must be important.
