China takes steps to secure pole position in primate research
Article Abstract:
China is poised to become a global center for biomedical research in primates as researchers from the United States and Europe are increasingly seeking collaborations with primate centers such as the Kunming Institute of Zoology in southwestern China. Although increasing number of primate researchers are coming to China, concerns regarding low costs, uncertain regulations and absence of animal-rights groups could lead to trouble in the future.

Article Abstract:
The lack of confidence in official mechanisms for properly investigating fraud in China has led to increased reliance on websites that challenge the records and publications of Chinese scientists. Hence more than 100 Chinese scientists based in the US have sent an open letter to the Chinese government, asking to it to set up mechanisms to ensure that claims of scientific misconduct are investigated fairly.
