I have read a lot of scientific papers where the discussion and conclusion contradict the title of the paper... Chinese ones seem to be the worse.
While I personally believe the peer review process to be the best we have for reporting and validating scientific studies, I will also say that it's largely a massive self-congratulatory circlejerk. Chinese peer review... it's a confirmation-bias ridden, manipulated data driven, self-congratulatory orgy that never addresses the fact that most of their studies seem to be mysteriously irreplicable outside of Chinese laboratories.
