@genome_gov Shame China MOST (Ministry of Science and Technology) currently doesn't agree, feeling this is an issue of “safeguarding national security” and punishing researchers who have contributed this data to the global public domain. See https://t.co/n
@iainh_z Bit of a glaring gap that massive funder MOST only gets a 4 line mention and no discussion on their "Regulation on Human Genetic Resources" which has led to massive sanctions on researchers following international (@GA4GH-syle) data sharing norms
HGRAC (MOST) policies are tasked with “safeguarding national security” and are "in a distinctive contrast with international consensus on the imperative of genomic data sharing". If a journal is happy with this it needs to at least be transparent about it
@pvanheus This explains some of the backstory, but seems its a recent reinterpretation of 1998 regulations that has now restricted Chinese researchers following international norms of genomics datasharing https://t.co/NaT3s1KS5C
