In 2006, an anonymous revelation caused an uproar on Tsinghua University's BBS. This news was like a bombshell, instantly detonating public opinion in the scientific and technological circles.
Chen Jin, who was once known as the "father of chips", was accused of serious fraud in the "Hanxin No. 1" project. The former tech star has now become a betrayer of national interests.
What's even more shocking is that he absconded to the United States with a scientific research fund of up to 1.1 billion yuan, leaving behind not only a piece of chicken feathers, but also 13 years of technological stagnation.
Chen Jin's actions not only tarnished his reputation, but also dealt a huge blow to the country's scientific and technological development. How did this chip scam that shocked the nation play out? What kind of far-reaching impact has it had on China's chip industry? Let's walk into this chilling truth.
Chen Jin's story begins in 1968 when he was born into a wealthy merchant family in Fujian. Showing extraordinary wisdom since childhood, Chen Jin is the pride of his parents.
Despite his wealthy family, he was not pampered, but showed strong self-discipline and learning ability, becoming the best among his peers.
As a young man, Chen Jin developed a strong interest in computers. With the support of his parents, he was given access to the latest technology, which laid the foundation for his later academic pursuits.
During the college entrance examination, Chen Jin was admitted to the computer science department of Tongji University in Shanghai with excellent results, and started his computer science journey.
During his college years, Chen Jin's talent was fully displayed. Not only did he excel in his studies, but he also demonstrated excellent creative thinking skills. After graduating in 1991, with his love for the computer field, Chen Jin went to the United States for further study.
At the University of Texas at Austin, he earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer engineering.
With an excellent academic background, Chen Jin successfully entered the global technology giant IBM, and then moved to Motorola. The work experience in these top companies has allowed Chen Jin to accumulate rich industry experience, and also laid the groundwork for his future "achievements".
In 2001, at a time when China was vigorously developing its technology industry, Chen Jin made a remarkable decision to return to China. He joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a senior lecturer and participated in the national key chip development project.
Chen's return to China is seen as a major event in the tech world, with many expecting him to lead China's chip industry to a breakthrough.
Chen Jin seems to have lived up to everyone's expectations. He ambitiously announced that significant results would be achieved within four years. Surprisingly, in just one and a half years, "Hanxin No. 1" was born.
This speed made many people dumbfounded, and also made Chen Jin famous in one fell swoop, known as the "father of chips".
However, behind this glamorous resume, there is a chilling truth.
In 2003, the Jinjiang Auditorium of Shanghai Jiao Tong University was bustling and packed. A much-anticipated press conference is being held here to announce the birth of "Hanxin No. 1" to the world.
Chen Jin on the stage was full of spirits and confidently showed the media and experts present this chip, which is known as "the world's most cutting-edge technology, the highest operating efficiency, and the least expensive cost".
The scene was thunderous applause, and people rejoiced at the "breakthrough" of China's chip technology. Chen Jin even demonstrated on the spot, installing the "Hanxin No. 1" in a radio.
When the beautiful music flowed out of the radio, the experts present were amazed and praised the calculation speed of "Hanxin No. 1" has reached 200 million times per second, close to the world's top level.
However, behind this sensational press conference, there is a chilling truth. The "Hanxin No. 1" displayed by Chen Jin is not the result of his and his team's hard research and development, but an American chip obtained through illegal means.
He skillfully removed the logo of the Motorola chip and covered it with the logo of "Hanxin No. 1", staging a modern version of "Tanuki for Prince".
This orchestrated scam deceived not only the experts and media present, but the entire country. Using his experience working abroad, Chen Jin easily downloaded the source code of the chip from Motorola's internal website.
He took advantage of the information asymmetry at home and abroad, and after slightly modifying these codes, he claimed that they were the results of independent research and development.
What's even more outrageous is that Chen Jin not only did things on the chip, but also falsified his academic qualifications and work experience. He claimed to have worked as a senior director of chip design at Motorola, when in fact he was just an ordinary senior electronics engineer.
The topic of his doctoral dissertation was changed to chip design, when in fact his research only dealt with the testing of integrated circuits.
This scam brought huge benefits to Chen Jin. He received a total of 1.1 billion yuan in project funds for the research and development of follow-up models such as "Hanxin No. 2" and "Hanxin No. 3".
However, these so-called "R&D" are nothing more than a poor imitation and packaging of American chips. Chen Jin used these funds to apply for a number of national patents, further consolidating his position as the "father of chips".
Chen Jin's behavior is not only academic misconduct, but also a naked economic crime. He took advantage of the country's thirst for chip technology to weave a delicate lie and package himself as the "father of chips", which is actually stealing national interests and hindering the real development of China's chip industry.
The scam lasted for nearly three years, and Chen's fame reached its peak. He has become a leader in the field of science and technology in China and has been praised by many experts and scholars.
However, just as he seems to be on the verge of reaching the pinnacle of his career, a storm is brewing and about to push him into the abyss from which he will never recover.
Chen Jin's case not only exposes the loopholes in the mainland's scientific research management system, but also reflects the problems we have in the evaluation and introduction of talents. This shocking scam has dealt a heavy blow to the mainland chip industry, and its impact is so far-reaching that it continues until many years later.
In 2006, an anonymous revelation caused an uproar on Tsinghua University's BBS. This brave reblower pointed to the shocking secret behind the "Hanxin No. 1", which instantly detonated national public opinion.
At first, many people were incredulous, thinking that it might be malicious slander out of jealousy. However, as the investigation deepens, the truth gradually emerges.
The government responded quickly and organized a team of experts to investigate. When the experts carefully examined the "Hanxin No. 1", they found many suspicious things. The performance of the chip is significantly different from what Chen Jin claims, and its internal structure is strikingly similar to that of a certain American chip.
Further investigation revealed that the source code of the "Hanxin No. 1" was actually downloaded from Motorola's internal website.
In the face of ironclad evidence, Chen Jin's lies finally could not continue. However, just as the experts were about to announce the results of the investigation, Chen Jin had already absconded to the United States with 1.1 billion yuan in scientific research funds.
This move is undoubtedly the final confirmation of his own crime.
Chen Jin's escape has dealt a heavy blow to China's chip industry. Not only was a huge amount of money swept away, but more importantly, this scam seriously dampened the confidence of the country and the people in the chip industry.
The "China Chip" plan, which was originally pinned on high hopes, came to a standstill, and the development of the entire industry was delayed for a full 13 years.
Although Chen Jin has fled overseas, the punishment of the law has not stopped. The state ordered him to immediately return the 1.1 billion yuan in scientific research funds, and although the money may be difficult to recover, this verdict undoubtedly sounded the alarm bell for all those who were lucky.
The outbreak of the Chen Jin incident is not only a crime committed by one person, but also exposes the loopholes in the mainland's scientific research project management and supervision mechanism. It reflects the problems we have in assessing and bringing in talent, and it also exposes the unrealistic expectations of academia and the tech community for "quick success".
Although this belated trial failed to bring Chen Jin to justice, it sounded the alarm for the entire scientific and technological community. It reminds us that scientific and technological innovation cannot be rushed, but needs to be promoted in a down-to-earth and step-by-step manner.
At the same time, we need to establish a stricter scientific research management system and strengthen the supervision of scientific research projects and funds. In terms of talent introduction, we should not only look at the superficial glamorous resume, but also deeply examine their actual ability and morality.
Although the scam has cast a shadow over China's chip industry, it has also become an important opportunity to promote the reform of the mainland's scientific and technological innovation system.
The Chen Jin incident is like a heavy punch, hitting the soft underbelly of China's chip industry. This scam has not only caused huge economic losses, but also a severe test of the country's scientific and technological innovation system.
However, in addition to the shock and anger, we need to reflect calmly and learn valuable lessons from this failure.
First of all, this incident exposed the mainland's shortcomings in the field of core technologies. It is precisely because of our thirst for chip technology that Chen Jin has an opportunity. This reminds us that a real scientific and technological power must be built on the basis of independent innovation, and any opportunistic shortcuts cannot achieve leapfrog development.
Second, this incident reflects the inadequacy of the mainland's scientific research project management and supervision mechanism. How to establish a more rigorous and transparent evaluation system and how to strengthen the supervision of scientific research funds are all problems that we need to solve urgently.
In addition, Chen Jin's case has also exposed loopholes in the mainland's talent introduction and evaluation. We must not only be confused by gorgeous resumes, but also establish a more comprehensive and in-depth talent assessment mechanism.
Finally, this incident also reflects our unrealistic expectations of "quick fixes". Scientific and technological innovation is a long-term process that requires down-to-earth and persistent efforts.
We must abandon the mentality of rushing for quick success and quick gain, and establish correct scientific research values.
Although the lesson is painful, it has pointed out the direction for the improvement of the mainland's scientific and technological innovation system. Only by facing up to the problem and having the courage to reform can we remain invincible in the future scientific and technological competition.
Although the Chen Jin incident has cast a shadow on China's chip industry, it has not stopped us from moving forward. After more than ten years of hard work, China's chip industry has gradually come out of the trough and ushered in a new spring.
In this process of rebirth, we have seen exciting changes. Technology giants such as Alibaba and Huawei have invested in chip research and development, injecting new vitality into the industry.
They are no longer satisfied with using imported chips, but are committed to building an independent and controllable chip ecosystem.
At the same time, many domestic colleges and universities have also acted quickly and set up special circuit colleges to cultivate batches of chip talents. These young engineers are using their wisdom and sweat to lay the foundation for the future of China's chip industry.
Today, Continental has reached the world's leading level in some chip fields. While there is still a gap compared to the top countries, we are catching up quickly.
The haze of the Chen Jin incident has dissipated, and China's chip industry is ushering in a brighter future. We have reason to believe that in the near future, "China Chip" will truly stand at the pinnacle of the world's science and technology and contribute to the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
