LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

SECRET’S OUT

Re “Ottawa urged to issue directive to universities halting joint research with Chinese military scientists” (Jan. 31): Although I believe the Chinese government is no friend of ours, I have trouble seeing the threat in collaborative research.

After all, aren’t the academic papers that result all published in open-source journals? So there should be no secrets here.

If Chinese scientists are blacklisted, can’t they simply subscribe?
