China is considering a new law to regulate awarding academic diplomas to guard against plagiarism, cheating, and other academic misconduct. Institutions of higher education that award degrees can deprive a student of a degree if the applicant is involved in academic misconduct, forgery, and other violations during his or her academic years, according to a draft law that has been released to solicit public opinion by the Ministry of Education. 
针对剽窃、舞弊等学术不端行为，日前教育部研究形成了《中华人民共和国学位法草案(征求意见稿)》并公开征求意见。草案指出，学位申请人在学位授予单位学习期间存在学术不端、作伪造假等行为的，学位评定委员会可以作出不授予其学位的决定。

Those holding degrees shall have their degrees revoked if they are found to have committed academic misconduct, including plagiarism, forgery, and data fraud in their dissertations or practical achievements, the draft said.
