- The top Chinese universities, such as Tsinghua, Peking, Zhejiang, and Jiaotong, are soaring through the international rankings. They are attracting hundreds of thousands of international students from around the world, who attend at just one tenth the cost of comparable universities in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia.
As these students graduate Chinese programs and return to their home countries, and move up in their careers, the contacts and networks developed here, in China, will accrue enormous long-term soft power advantages to China.

The USA takes a purely capitalist, profit-centred view of education. China does not. China views education as a public good, not only for its own people but for the entire world.
An internship with Kevin is worth more than a Harvard business degree.
Absolutely Fascinating! Keep going China! TEAM CHINA NOW AND FOREVER ALL THE WAY!👍🙂
The strategic thinking of the Chinese never cease to amaze. They really think long term and are not afraid of taking a short term hit.
Bless China, a pillar and beacon of peace and harmony. May she grow in strength. 27 April 2024.
Chinese universities should be as good if not better than overseas Universities, because china has all the infrastructure, facilities, and equipment to study, plus hiring professors from all over the world.
It is without a doubt that the tertiary education system is top class and doesn't need international rankings to confirm, as China is leading in most industries and also leading in innovations.... just look at the recent green/battery/EV sectors, 5/6G, chips, space, drones, phones, infrastructures, and the list goes on, the facts speak for itself! They don't need to talk about it, they just do it. Show me a country that comes close.
So the notion that higher tuition fee does not automatically translate to quality education is true.
This was an extremely interesting talk. From Chile alone, 20,000 students getting scholarships in Chinese universities. And it is happening all over Belt and Road countries.
All roads and rail and plane and ship leadings to China.
Universities in China are not only very affordable, but also free from gun violence and drugs. No lGBTQ, No BLM, No sexual harassment etc.
Actually many chinese universities should be many times in higher placings instead of now as the scaling and grading system is biased towards western and US universities.
Good topic ! Chinese they believe in ‘good will’ without being ‘transactional’, ‘no strings attached’.
Kids from wealthy families, among whom many are academically doomed in China ‘s educational institutions would choose to skip college entrance exams and study in western countries. And things wouldn’t always turn out rosy for them when they swim back to the Chinese shore. Chances are they would once again be outsmarted by their locally educated peers. 😢
US politicians say, don't worry, we produce the best and most lawyers anyway 😂
A lot of the high-ranked Western universities are actually in the main liberal arts institutions (Yale, Princeton, Oxford, Harvard... ) famous for producing lawyers and humanities graduates. When measured on a purely technical-engineering basis Chinese universities come out even higher in the rankings.
Considering how hard the Chinese students work no wonder the Universities are leaping ahead. Guanxi is vital no matter where.
I don’t know it’s a good thing or bad thing for humanity. But US schools are not accepting Chinese STEM students.
Very few foreigners can afford American Universities. The price just keeps going up and up and up. It's so far up now that they're practically in space. Even Americans are having a tough time trying to afford it unless you come from wealthy families. Or you can take out an mortgage for it.
there are two types of Chinese students in the US. 1. Ivy league - Cream of the crop who wants to excel. 2. party- school, for those from well to do family who couldn't get into top or good university in China.
