It's interesting how Chinese scientists describe their ethical standpoint as being largely determined by their culture. I would hope that at some point, scientists all over the world would converge to a set of ethical principles that everyone can agree on, regardless of geographical location. It's also such a shame that the "publish or perish" rat race is forcing scientists to bend their principles and do unethical things.

Finally, this is an interesting quote:

The mind-set among Chinese researchers, according to Mr. Yi: “ ‘We’re going to do it, then see what’s wrong, then fix it. But the conceptual discussion may be missing.’ ”
