A leading cybersecurity scientist in the Chinese military, Guo Shize, has been removed from the website of the country’s top national research institute.
Guo, 57, a researcher at the Information Technology Security Research Centre of the People’s Liberation Army, was elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2023.
It is not known when his page was removed from the academy’s website, but Chinese media reports noted the change on Monday. Neither the academy nor Beijing’s defence ministry has explained the removal.
