Okeay, got it. Thanks. Good to know where you come down on this one. I'm sure everyone was on pins and needles, waiting.

You've presented one sample point only when we know that the publishing community is much larger than 43 papers.
Anyway did you read the story about the German spies stealing and giving Airbus's blueprints to American intelligence agencies?
One would be naive to think that only Chinese steal other people's work without credit. Every country undertakes industrial espionage.
And what about the German car companies cheating on pollution emissions tests?
And all the things which Europe gained by subversive means from China like gunpowder and porcelain...are Europeans that creative really?
