that is all a country needs. To be associated to a university where an 'eminent' professor - Yi Yanyou - suggested that rape was acceptable if it was a bar girl who was assaulted and not a 'respectable woman'. China - keeping it misogynistic for 5000 years. Full Comment>>

The kind of people that they want to attract as a 'special talent' would probably be those least likely to want to be a green card holder in China in the first place. A professional reputation could be lost so easily being associated with some of the more questionable practices that take place only in China. As it ... Full Comment>>

Probably there was a slow, painstaking, expensive procedure of approval before making the promotional movie. An original concept would have probably doubled the time and money taken to make it. There are probably universities/businesses cra**ing themselves that they will also be found out for similar plagiarism. ... Full Comment>>
