According to an announcement on the website of the Ministry of Education, the main suspects involved in the leaking of answers for the English part of the 2012 national post-graduate entrance examination have been detained, the Beijing Times reported.

The Ministry of Education also requires that exam papers are thoroughly checked for veracity and that stronger measures are enforced during the reexamination process in order to punish cheating candidates and ensure a fair and equitable admissions process.

Yuan Guiren, the Minister of Education, commented that all 1,500,000 English test papers have been comprehensively rechecked. All candidates whose papers tally with the answers exposed online as having been leaked will undergo an additional English test. If it is subsequently confirmed that these candidates have cheated, they will have their qualification rescinded and face additional punishment from the university with which they registered for the examination.
