You need to draw the line between a country's government and some of its brightest minds. This is a scientific breakthrough, and should be celebrated as such. Period.
I trust no articles from SCMP.
That's a different story, but you can simply look up the research paper.
The research has been published. Everybody in the world is free to replicate it. The CCP is no more or less capable of doing so, just because it happened on their turf.
It has been published, but a staggering number of scientific "papers" coming out of China are turning out to be complete fabrications.
Correct, so it should be independently reviewed and recreated to validate the claims. Crying wolf just because there were issues before wouldn't be fair.
So you don’t base any of your decisions on past experiences?
Not when it comes to scientific research.
If the same person or someone acting under the same supervisor in the same faculty published some more amazing sounding research after previous ones had been debunked, I'd be sceptical.
But in a country with 1.4bn people and more than 3.000 universities? There's gotta be some bad eggs, but you can't discredit every single one due to the actions of a few.
I've met brilliant scientists in and from China.
The trick is that they're literally spamming papers at this point.
Most of these inventions will be used by military first, in China as also in the USA, which isn't an atom better in this and other aspect. It's precisely the USA which use more investment in weapons and defense as any other country and not precisely for humanity reasons.
LOL
Are we? The current wave of book bans would say different.
It must be those two gay penguins’ fault
