Just having a chat about lil Ms Xi going to Harvard, and not BeiDa, and how Dada isn't actually a hypocrite for sending his daughter to Harvard - no, not at all! - instead of a Chinese university, when he's telling the rest of the country not to send their kids overseas...
And, I suggested that the smarter* thing to do is - instead of bash the rest of the world's universities - to implement policy (and enforcement) to get the local unis to a MUCH higher standard than they currently are.
So, do you think at any time (not just your lifetime - nor that of your kids... grandkids... great great great... oh,hell... any time before the world gets swallowed by the sun) that China will see one of its universities in the world top 10 international rankings?

Sorry, rank No.1 in China is Peking University,while ranking No.47 in the world....
and of course, rank doesn't mean everything,but every parent wishes his children go to the best....(including me)
I am not quite sure about the future,if it come to this,something must happen first(China must be the strongest country in the world(fully defeated others) or China vanished,another country/united country?(WW3?) rise?
But for now, that's a nearly impossible mission for our living time....
sure they will become no.1 in chinese world rankings.
In other countries world rankings? Maybe if they only care about money and passing rates

There is an idea in there.... once China sees that reputation pays much more than cheap grades, they'll change!

isnt that already like it for tsing hua university?
The students are not exceptional but rich. People want to go because they 'heard' it is 'good'
Yes, mainland China universities will try to find some way to artificially meet the standard. It's almost impossible to quantify university rankings, you really need to take a closer look at what graduates are able to contribute to their respective fields.
Shining_brow:
You know that there are already at least 3 world rankings out on the webs already - 2 of which have been around for many years! QS and Times Higher Education.
Both have a fundamental flaw - too high scoring for number of papers published by staff (and are then referenced by others). This gives the US a huge increase in ranks - many of which would be undeserved. Because, in the US university system, you're paid to write and publish first, and teach second. Other nation's universities tend to do the opposite.
Also, it gives English language universities a MUCH greater advantage over non-English universities, simply because there are far more English language journals than non-English journals.
