Hi, everyone, here's the update on what happened to the two cheating lecturers (note they are not professors) in Jinggangshan Universion in China, (in Chinese)
In short: In ten days after ACSE's report was release on Dec. 19 2009,, the two lecturers got fired by the Jinggangshan University. For folks who are not familiar with what kind of college Jinggangshan Univ is, think about a local community university in your neighbourhood and the Jinggangshan college is pretty much on the same level.
Indeed faking research results is rampant in China and there are cases busted occupationally but there are still a lot good research works going on in top universities, and their results got published and recognized by international communities.
I believe the bad trend has something to do with fierce competition to get fund in Chinese academics and government's sometimes overenthusiastic support to get as much research done as possible in a short time. There's a boom in published papers for sure but the number of 'bad apples' also grow proportionally. To make things worse, some corrupted researcher are taking advantage of the language/culture gap between Chinese academy and English (US, British) ones - it's hard for English reviewers to find and verify the details of referenced works in their papers and the stories of faked results usually take much longer time to spread to Chinese academic circle, where the punishment could be done. The solution could be inviting more prominent Chinese researchers to become paper reviewers who could do a better job to verify the results, since an English reviewer probably can't tell Jinggangshan University from Tsinghua (China's MIT), but a Chinese reviewers can easily tell the huge difference between the two colleges and will put more critical opinions in reviewing.
Also, there's no need to exaggerate the incident. I personally find the "Chinese approach to ethics" thing purely laughable.
What they have done was keeping other businesses (music search, gmail, etc) untouched, just moved the search engine's servers from China to another part of China. The R&D team and adv team are still hiring local people.
Agree. If you think the translated Chinese comments from KDS forum on ChinaSMACK represent what the majority of Chinese people think, you are horribly wrong. Read the racist nonsense from the same group of people on ChinaSMACK:
Subscribing to services goes paperless in China. Simply send a message to a given number and it's all done. Paperless billing and banking is part of people's daily life with help of SMS. Text messaging is even a popular way to vote, not for politics but for American Idol like show.
Service charge can be a factor. Receiving messages is free in China but receivers get (ridiculously) charged in states. Carriers failed to make agreement at this point.
It's good to try alien tastes several times a life, American trash food included, but we 'all love it'? Not likely we say that except when we wanna make fun of our American friends.
The Chinese have no shortage of engineers. There's tons of them. They need people who speak English and Chinese and are engineers so the Chinese Engineers can talk to their English speaking counterparts and management. Generally speaking, the Chinese engineers ive met have known English, so I haven't had to learn any Mandrin at all to work with them.
Not true. We are in extreme shortage of GOOD engineers. Sure there are tons of engineers in China but the demand is much larger considering China's rapid industrialization.
You don't need to speak Chinese with Chinese engineers in English speaking countries such as US, however, speaking in Chinese will give you a huge plus if you wanna work in a Chinese company/branch.
US engineering grad schools are dominated by Chinese and Indian students. However you don't need to learn Hindi since Indians speak English in their home country.
And, your next employer will very likely have their largest branch in China or owned by a Chinese trust.
so, wouldn't borrowing several computers from them and attack from US located systems be much easier? Is it too foolish to initiate an attack from a Chinese computer if the Chinese government really wanna hack?

Having gained my four year college education in University of Science and Tech. of China, I have some experience on GFW. Chinese people's attitude toward GFW reflects gap of old and young generations.
Almost all young Chinese, me included, think GFW is totally stupid and the people who are in charge of the blocking have pig brains. why?
1. CNN/BBS/FalunGong/TibetGIE should not be blocked since nobody in China reads them.
2. Some irrelevant websites such as sourceforge used to be blocked.
However, most of old people(our parent generation) have opposite opinions. They think Internet is full of pornography, additive games, violence and bad guys/gals. Indeed, I know some brilliant high school students including my own nephew ruined by net addition.
However, I think cyber censorship ss more like stupid ISPs' wanting to be "politically right" rather than central gov's direct command.

since everything is made in China and this country heavily depends on coal fuel for the major energy source.

Language barrier.
Most people in China simply don't read English messages and cellphones in states can't display Chinese at all (additional fonts required).
Those in both countries who can read each others are tiny faction thus market is extremely limited.
That's not for one SMS but one month's limited service.
Service charge can be a factor. Receiving messages is free in China but receivers get (ridiculously) charged in states. Carriers failed to make agreement at this point.
China already has the world fastest intercity train in use between Beijing and Tianjin.

I clicked on the Simplified Chinese icon on the top right of the page but it's still English displayed.
I'm wondering what are their targeted users.

Cyber hacking is actually nontracable.
