Q: Privately run schools not allowed on public campuses?
Seems I read somewhere on here that the Chinese Govt recently passed a law banning privately run schools from operating within public ones. An addition, its been speculated that this new law is being enforced in the 1st tier cities, but will move into the 2nd tier cities in due time. Any thoughts, remarks, comments regarding this ?

Yes it is true, saw it in the news paper yesterday, they said it was to keep conflict of interest at bay.

I thought it had more to do with eliminating competiton.
I'll let you know when I go back to work (sometime...).
Cos, for the past few years, I've been at a private operating on a public university. (or, do you only mean school school?)
I'm in a T2 city, and I know of a few private schools currently on public school property.. I haven't heard anything from those guys.
But, frankly, I don't see it as being a bad thing - except it means a whole bunch of facilities needing to be bought, usually for only a handful of kids.Going to be expensive for those schools to keep operating - or the need to downscale (ie, classrooms only)..
I've been seeing this happen too. I can understand why the government would want this. Some of these 'international' departments attach themselves to a top high school in the city and use its name for recruiting. Normally these high schools are really hard to get into, requiring a top score on the xiaokao, the international department then lets any kid in as long as their parents can pay and then have the prestige of going to a top high school for that city or province.
