Ethics of Technology in The People's Republic of China with a Focus on Biotechnology
Abstract
Due to a series of scandals in recent years, many western observers have expressed a negative view of technology ethics in China, especially in the biotechnology sector. An examination of the status of technology and ethics in China highlights two significant trends: the stunning rise of China as a technology powerhouse and the deep concerns both inside and outside China over how ethics are not guiding technology development in China. This study demonstrates that the ethics and technology milieu in China is rapidly evolving with areas of grave concern existing alongside areas of great progress. Western governmental, technology, and ethics leaders need a working understanding of the current state of technology ethics in China to responsibly guide policies and partnerships. This study provides this working understanding through a cross-cultural examination of the topic with a focus on China's biotechnology sector.
