Chinese Premier Li Keqiang vowed to stop academic fraud in 2019 during his speech to the Chinese regime’s rubber-stamp legislature, National People’s Congress, in Beijing on March 5.

“[We must] strengthen scientific research ethics and study attitudes, punish academic misconduct, and get rid of impetuousness,” Li said.
