I open my eyes to data and objective, independent sources, where possible.

And I think the aforementioned findings of fraud in academia have analogs across industries in China-- construction (typically the industry with highest most corrupt activities regardless of nation), food manufacturing, accounting & finance, etc.

Here's an objective, independent source. I am a foreigner in China. Increasingly, robotics designed at my company are designed against Chinese chips because they are cheaper, more available, and therefore present less design risk. Meanwhile, a friend of mine in semiconductor trading just booked about a dozen life fortunes in a single month capitalising on the pain and suffering of conventional electronics producers with foreign BOMs.
