More than 1,420 Chinese scientists have been named academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) since 1955, when the first members of academic divisions were inducted. They have been trailblazers of scientific development in China, according to a statement by CAS on Monday.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has revised its constitution with regards to academicians, one of its top honors, adding new rules on the revoking of the academician title. According to the constitution, "any academician who seriously violates professional and social ethics shall be urged to give up his title; those who harm the national interest and break the law shall have their title revoked."
