That’s like calling it xenophobic to refuse to travel to Somalia, pointing to an article about some random violent incident in USA and saying there’s violence everywhere.

Chinese paper mills is on a completely different level, and heightened scepticism is absolutely warranted. Yeah, it’s a bit much to ignore all research from China but I totally understand where the reaction is coming from.

while i too understand where the reaction is coming from, i have more interest in where it is going.

academic integrity is faltering. scientific integrity. allow this to be politicized and weaponized, and, well…

you’re already feeling the outcomes. but they will get worse.
