Ranking methods

There are seven different ranking systems in Chinese university ranking (Netbig). [2]

The first ranking system is "comprehensive(overall) ranking", which is based on 2~7th ranking system.

The second ranking system is based on "reputation".

The third ranking system is based on “academic resources”.

The fourth ranking system is based on "academic achievement".

The fifth ranking system is based on "student ability".

The sixth ranking system is based on "professor honor"

The seventh ranking system is based on "reserve fund".

Criticism

After its first release Netbig was sued by a Renmin University of China alumnus for committing libel to his Alma mater, by ranking the school 25th when it has the best law school in China. An official from the Chinese Ministry of Education commented on the ranking as being "baseless" and "completely without scientific studies." [3] [4] Some also argued that Netbig did not but should have considered employment data in ranking the universities. [5]

National Key Universities previously referred to universities recognized as prestigious and which received a high level of support from the central government of the People's Republic of China. The term is no longer in official use by 1990s. The term "zhòngdiǎn" 重点, translated here as "key," in this phrase can also be translated as "major," "priority," or "focal." The term "National Key Universities" then became defunct, and these schools are now normally referred to as "Double First Class Universities“, based on the China state Double First-Class Construction. However, it remains part of the vernacular, as evidenced by some Chinese media articles which still refer to "National Key Universities".

Zhou Tongqing, also known as Tung-Ching Chow, was a Chinese optical physicist. After earning his Ph.D. from Princeton University, he taught at Peking University, National Central University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Fudan University. He led the development of China's first X-ray tube in 1953 and was elected a founding member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1955. His research was disrupted when he was subject to severe persecution during the Anti-Rightist Campaign and the Cultural Revolution. Although later politically rehabilitated, he was plagued by poor health for the rest of his life.

In China, the 1952 reorganization of colleges and departments in higher education institutions (高等学校院系调整) was a national policy under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which came into power in 1949, to adopt Soviet-styled higher education. This policy focused more on engineering education and technical training while removing American influences among Chinese scholars. While eliminating private education, especially missionary higher education, the policy led to the state control over the higher education sector and the loss of faculty governance tradition since the 1920s. This served the Communist agenda to break up the prestigious universities established under the Republic of China, to weaken the historical ties between the university and the faculty, and to establish the political and organisational authority of the new Communist government over the higher education system. The reorganisation involved most of the higher education institutions in mainland China and influenced the basic structure of Chinese higher education today.
