Police in Beijing have arrested four men associated with the attack of Fang Zhouzi, a well-known journalist known for exposing frauds in various fields of study, especially in science and medicine. He was lucky enough to survive the bludgeon-type attack from a hammer. The professor who paid for the vicious attack was arrested along with the attackers. Since China is well known for counterfeiting anything from movies to food, it's not surprising that this incident happenened. It was just a matter of time before the self-proclaimed enforcer of science pissed off the wrong guy.
Amazingly he was unfazed by the attempt on his life, which occured right after an interview. With the help of security cameras and witnesses, the hired goons and the professor were quickly apprehended. The adage "truth hurts" is never more true in this cse. Both the perpetrators of the fraud and the exposer of the fraud suffered.
Zhouzi's previous work included exposing fraudulent cancer medicine, fake chinese herbal concotions and false claims associated with them, and the big one were he exposed Tang Jun as a false scholar. Jun was about to get a top position in Microsoft but was rejected when Zhouzi exposed him as a fraud. I wonder what kind of fraud will China come up with next?
