The Chinese Academy of Sciences, the world’s largest research institution with nearly 80,000 employees, has issued an updated code of conduct. In this code, researchers are required to „demonstrate love for the party“, „serve national security“ and „align with the policies of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China,“ as reported by Fabian Kretschmer. However, German research institutions and the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) intend to maintain their cooperation for now, viewing the code as a more explicit formulation of existing guidelines.
