Chinese Scientist Admits To Stealing Chip Research

An anonymous reader writes "A prominent Chinese scientist, one of the founders of the chip manufacturing industry in the country, has admitted to stealing his research." From the article: "Chen Jin, a dean of Shanghai's prestigious Jiaotong University and the leader of a government-funded high-tech research project, was dismissed from his university posts this week and stripped of other government titles and perks. The government also said that Chen had been permanently banned from taking part in any government-funded science projects. In a statement Friday, Jiaotong University--one of the nation's elite schools--said, 'Chen Jin has breached the trust of being a scientist and educator. His behavior is despicable.'"

In an interview this morning, Daffy Duck agreed with Jiaotong University.

"Indeed, his behavior is despicable", said Mr. Duck.

and he got away with it for three years!! That's awesome. Three years is a whole career with a high tech company these days. Hell, a lot of companies don't even last three years. I'm doing this on my next project. You can learn so much by studying Chinese culture. -- Wally
