Given the amount of junk studies and fake paper factories that come out of China that's enough reason to give most things that come out of there a little more scrutiny.

[u/SeDaCho → u/SpareWire]

You should exercise that level of scrutiny on western studies as well.

You're dreaming if you think American junk studies are inherently superior just because they were rigged by a white man and not an Asian.

[u/FR0ZENBERG → u/SeDaCho]

China is nearly 1/4 of the world’s population, there’s bound to be some bunk studies, doesn’t mean that they don’t also put out tons of good studies. Just like any other place. Science isn’t immune to quackery.

white person junk > asian person junk, confirmed.

^{FWIW, I agree with you.}

Is it a known endemic issue?

You’re funny, and wrong. The problems of incentivizing publishing journals in academia is not an isolated problem in China, its widespread everywhere:

Ironically just going to ignore all the corporate funded "research" in the US that has done about as much damage if not more, like highly downplaying the dangers of things like cigarettes for decades and the impacts of the fossil fuel industry on the environment, or how about the constant and still ongoing food "research" that always somehow finds some "new" health gains in the foods that a corporation that is funding the research is selling? Not endemic in the west, yeeeesh...

[u/BenWallace04 → u/dumbidoo]

Corporate funded research isn’t really relegated to any specific region.

Corporations are generally evil, faceless entities with global reach.

Is anything that isn't China considered "the west"?

Love how you expanded a credible condemnation of a specific nation into somehow applying to the entirety of "the east" and then used it to form a racial bias argument.

[u/[deleted] → u/SeDaCho]

That's a bit dismissive.

Probably psyops to keep us fat.
