Chip fraud shames China
Deseret News – May 14, 2006
But today, China appears shocked and shamed at a scandal that has already begun to tarnish that vision. It involves a marquee computer scientist named Chen Jin who became a national hero in 2003 when he said he had created one of China’s first home-grown digital signal processing computer chips, a sophisticated microchip that can process digitized data for mobile phones, cameras and other electronic devices. On Friday, however, the government announced that it was all a fraud. The distinguished scientist, the government said, had faked research conducted at Jiaotong University and simply stolen his chip designs from a foreign company, then passed them off as his own. In a society where honor is particularly important and where the fear of public shame runs especially deep, the story of Chen has a profound resonance. People here are beginning to question whether China is pushing its leading thinkers too hard to innovate and catch up with the West.

The Ryder Cup star then followed that with his fourth dropped shot in three holes at the 11th. Campbell had double-bogeyed the 9th and parred 10 and 11, meaning the pair arrived at the 12th now in a five-way tie for first with Edfors, Gallacher and Sandelin. With Darren Clarke, three off Casey’s overnight lead, also going backwards, it looked as though Britain’s best chance of a home-grown winner would be the Emerson, who carded a five-under 67, or Paul Broadhurst, another veteran Englishman who posted a 68. But Edfors, who returned to the main tour this season via the qualifying school, broke free of the pack on 10 under with long birdie putts at the par-five 15th and 17th holes. The
