From SciDev.Net (link):
Chinese scientists based overseas have written an open letter to officials in China urging them to set up a formal process to deal with allegations of scientific misconduct.
The letter dated 8 May was signed by 120 Chinese scientists, mostly based at US universities, and sent to China’s science minister, the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other officials.
Since November 2005, several Chinese scientists have been accused of plagiarism, faking data or lying about their academic achievements (see Top Chinese academic under fire from ‘science police’).
