petersuber, If you've heard that Chinese research reforms "restrict" #OpenAccess publications, don't draw the wrong conclusion. The restrictions are merely "a prohibition to use research funding to pay for article processing charges (#APC), except for high-quality publications, and the blacklisting of #predatory journals."
