The relevant figures of the Hanxin incident, and the fraud process of the Hanxin incident

Why didn't you mess this man up and go to jail.

Defrauded 1.1 billion R&D funds! Chen Jin, who has stagnated "China Chip" for 13 years, what is the current situation?

On January 17, 2006, a figure similar to the "Deep Throat" in the "Watergate" incident in the United States publicly accused Professor Chen Jin, dean of the School of Microelectronics of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, of counterfeiting the "Hanxin No. 1" invented on the BBS of Tsinghua University.

Some ** with a keen sense of smell quickly intervened and carried out a difficult search and verification. With the joint efforts of the whistleblower and **, one fact after another gradually surfaced. A month later, on February 18, the investigation team of the incident concluded that the "Hanxin No. 1" fraud was basically true.

On May 12, 2006, Shanghai Jiao Tong University informed the relevant ** that Chen Jin had been revoked from various positions and academic titles, and that the relevant ministries and commissions of the state had terminated the scientific research contract with him and recovered various fees. It is worth noting that even after fraudulently obtaining such a large amount of scientific research funds, Shanghai Jiaotong University has not mentioned whether the person responsible for the incident has been prosecuted by law.

At the end of the year, this reporter inquired with the relevant ministries and commissions of the state and found that there was indeed no legal prosecution of the relevant responsible persons.

Gu Haibing, a professor at Chinese People's University, said he was not satisfied with the results of the Hanxin incident, "What responsibility should the review experts bear, what responsibility should the relevant departments bear, there is no result." At present, the handling is very inadequate." Professor Xue Lan, director of the China Science and Technology Policy Research Center of Tsinghua University, also said that the Hanxin incident reflects the shortcomings in China's science and technology system, which requires relevant departments to truly reflect on and dig out the causes of the shortcomings and fundamentally solve this problem.

This cannot but remind people of an article published by the famous scientist Mr. Zou Chenglu before his death, in which he bluntly said: "It is not enough to just say it, and academic misconduct must be strictly investigated and dealt with." It is hoped that all relevant units and relevant leaders at all levels will really attach importance to this and conscientiously do a few practical things, so that the current trend of corruption can be restrained and a pure land will be restored to the scientific circles of our country.

Indeed, throughout 2006, a number of academic misconduct was exposed and punished.

In January 2006, the Tianjin No. 2 Intermediate People's Court finally ruled that Shen Luwei, a professor at the Tianjin Institute of Foreign Chinese Languages, had plagiarized other people's works in his monograph "Seeking Truth". In March, Liu Hui, assistant dean of Tsinghua University's School of Medicine, was expelled from the hospital for putting other people's academic ** under his own name and falsifying his resume. Later, there were incidents such as the academic anomie of the State Key Laboratory of Fire Science of the University of Science and Technology of China, and the dean of the Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education being trapped in the "student gate".

In June 2006, the person in charge of the Ministry of Science and Technology publicly stated that he would conscientiously absorb the lessons of the "Hanxin" fraud incident, and further improve the regulatory system from many aspects. On November 7 of the same year, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued the "Measures for Handling Scientific Research Misconduct in the Implementation of the National Science and Technology Plan (Trial)", stating that for scientific research misconduct, it is necessary to implement punishment measures from warning, criticism to early termination of the project, collection of funds, and non-acceptance of scientific research project applications of relevant personnel within a certain period of time. Some people believe that this is the first regulation against scientific research misconduct issued by China's leading department, which has put the crackdown on scientific research and academic fraud on the track of legalization.

However, Gu Haibing believes that the details of this handling method are not detailed enough, and the operation is not specific enough, especially how to carry out legal prosecution should be more prominent. "How to punish 10 million yuan of fraud, and how to punish 1 million yuan of fraud, the criminal law has very detailed provisions. The punishment of academic fraud and fraud should also be linked to criminal law.
