Q: How are the universities in China ranked?
Do they do it by like divisions? In America we have Division I and Division II schools. The smaller schools would be Division II schools and those schools would be cheaper to attend unless of course it was a private school. I knew of a Division III school back home that cost as much as a Division I school just because it was a private school.
What do they consider when ranking the schools here? Is it the student population, grades, competitiveness to get accepted? What/ ??
What schools are highly ranked and which schools are lowly ranked?

FYI: In America, university divisions are part of a system created by the NCAA. Most students do not consider a university's division to be a major indicator of academic quality, and it's typically not a factor in university rankings. I don't think American college sports are popular in China, though, so it's understandable why you wouldn't know this.
Chinese people are generally more easily duped, so I know this level of deception is pretty far beyond your current abilities. Don't worry! Just try researching things more thoroughly before pretending to know about them on the English-speaking part of internet. You wouldn't see me claiming to know in-depth details about the life of a 五毛 on 天涯, after all.

It's not his fault. He is Chinese. He does not know the difference between NCAA divisions and academic rank.

Yeah I don't blame him, much in the way I don't blame a poorly trained dog for barking all day.
Alphabetically, as each one is just as irrelevant as the next.
t91camp:
Well, if you look at overall global rankings, there's a handful of Chinese universities which are pretty high up there. If you narrow down the rankings to just academic quality (so no tuition, class size, prestige, etc), then there's even more. The good ones are too expensive for average Chinese people, though.
Traveler:
China has only 2 universities in the world top 100, compared to 44 in USA . Australia, a much smaller country, has 6, and Japan 5.
Even from the 2 in China, significant upgrading is required before the qualifications would be recognised in western countries.
By the amount of money they spend on the website that does the rankings 
Actually, "China' has a few universities in the top 100... if you allow Taiwan and Hong Kong as being a part of China
It depends on the type of major. Plenty of Chinese colleges and universities are indeed relevant, as they generally lead to jobs within IBM, Intel, Microsoft, etc. in their respective China branches. However, that might have something to do with it being a requirement for foreign companies to hire mostly Chinese people. Isn't it like 80%?
When my friend enrolled in college in the U.S., only two of his classes were eligible to be transferred. Just two, one-semester courses out of 3 years of work.
Fudan and Tsinghua are considered the top two universities in China, but let's be honest here. Fudan is nowhere near the level of an American community college. Fudan is just as dumb as the rest, but with a +10% passing grade requirement. Fudan doesn't even let color-blind students enroll because they're "not suitable to study."
Most Chinese schools consider 60% to be a passing grade, but Fudan requires 70%. American colleges won't even let you in medical school with an 80% unless it's some kind of pity/affirmative action invite.
Traveler:
I think it is about 80%, and there are other conditions, which means the western companies have to employ mostly who the Chinese government approves, and not the most qualified people. Another consideration when contemplating relocation out of China.
One of my jobs with these companies was to get the workers up to scratch so they could get upgraded when they applied for accreditation in western countries. Many were unable to do that on their own when they went to America, or other countries.
