Critics call for fraud case to be reopened

SHANGHAI - A report that determines an academic paper by Chinese historian and intellectual Zhu Xueqin is not plagiarism has triggered controversy online, including calls for further investigation.

Earlier this month, Fudan University's Academic Advisory Committee released its investigation report, which rejected an anonymous charge of plagiarism against its former PhD student Zhu, who is now a history professor at Shanghai University.

The report said Zhu's paper The Collapse of Moral Utopia has some problems that fail to meet academic norms, such as omitting some references to the relevant published work of others. However, the report said these are minor problems and could not be deemed as plagiarism.
