This year's Nobel Prize awarding has come to an end. Chinese scholar Rao Yi recently commented that 32 people in Japan have won Nobel Prizes and 26 people in natural sciences, but China has experienced academic misconduct unprecedented in world history.

According to the WeChat public account "Rao Yi Science", Rao Yi posted on the 7th after the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was announced, saying that this is the 32nd person from Japan to win the Nobel Prize, and the 26th person in natural sciences. Among them, 22 people have won the prize in the natural science category this century.

Rao Yi said that Chinese science has made great progress in this century, "but we have experienced academic misconduct unprecedented in world history. What is even worse is that many units cover up (cover up) and use their public power to defend counterfeiters, wasting the funds invested by the state and living up to the responsibilities entrusted to them by the people."

He said that today's Chinese scientific community "must have the ambition to reduce fraud to the world average level."

Rao Yi is a biologist who served as dean of the School of Life Sciences at Peking University, president of Capital Medical University, and founding director of the Peking University-Tsinghua Joint Center for Life Sciences.

In May of this year, he said in a speech that academic misconduct in China has hit a record not only because of the sheer number of violations due to the large volume of scientific research in China, but also because the "actual proportion" of misconduct is unprecedented in world history.
