Chris Chi-Chiang Shei

Chris Shei (University of Wales Swansea) wrote an interesting paper about plagiarism and the view of patchwriting by Chinese students studying in a UK higher education institution.

Chris Chi-Chiang Shei, a Taiwanese lecturer at the University of Wales Swansea, is among a group of British scholars who advocate "easternizing" academia by promoting cooperative use of certain types of knowledge.Chiang said that while plagiarism is by no means acceptable in Chinese culture, different values do come to bear.Scholarship is often seen as "common property," he says.

But this collective approach to scholarship conflicts with the notoriously cutthroat atmosphere of contemporary Chinese science.
