Revised Code of Conduct for Academics in China: 中国科学院院士行为规范(试行) [Code of Conduct for Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Trial)]

 

Pix Credit here

For those interested here is the revised current version of Academic's Code of Conduct (中国科学院院士行为规范(试行)) in the original Chinese and a crude English translation. For many people, the provisions on prohibited conduct (§§27-31) draws the most interest.  Here a comparison with similar provisions under other political-economic models might seem useful, as each model seeks to ensure the integrity of its core premises and objectiveness (e.g., national rejuvenation, social justice, etc.) through the education field. 

Despite the fuss, what it appears to reinforce is the global trend toward the exercise of greater care by academics in ways that are more comprehensively defined by the state, either directly, through regulation and compliance responsibilities delegated to institutions, or indirectly through social norm objectives with regulatory (and disciplinary) effect.  These efforts, of course, all have national characteristics appropriate to the space, time, and place in which they are expressed.   It is the study of those national characteristics applied to academics, and their effectiveness sin light of the challenge of the current general contradiction, that ought to be an important place of study. For local commentary and consequences, see, e.g., here, here, and here.
