TEAM SETS RECORD STRAIGHT ON CHINESE CITIZENS' HONESTY

Researchers debunk findings of study published in US

A paper published by professors and students from 14 Chinese universities aimed at restoring Chinese citizens' reputation for honesty has triggered hot discussion on social media platforms.

More than 100 professors and students from the universities, along with a professor from Old Dominion University in the United States, conducted experiments at 500 different locations in China.

Through data analysis, they debunked a paper published in the journal Science, which found that Chinese citizens ranked the lowest in terms of civic honesty.
