Canadian universities conducting joint research with Chinese military scientists , The Globe and Mail —features our paper on laser damage of optical attenuators :). Two weeks later, Ottawa ends all research funding with Chinese military and state security institutions . What is funny here, that paper was not a collaboration between Canada and China.
