One is that there is 'too much research misconduct and ethically questionable behavior.' To put it bluntly, buying and selling of papers and the giving and receiving of bribes are rampant, and I honestly hated myself for being in that environment. In China, it is easy to transfer research funds to researchers at other universities under the pretext of consulting fees. There are also shady businesses that will issue receipts with any content, and it is possible to cash out research funds. As a result, the academic world has become completely commercialized, and I ended up staying there for a long time, but the question 'Is this really what the academic world should be like?' was always in my mind.
