Article by 龙信明 Introduction Joseph Needham was an English medical doctor and biologist, teaching in England in the 1930s. By an accident of fate he acquired some Chinese students, and was intrigued to hear their claims of so many medical and scientific discoveries having originated in China, rather than in the West. Needham became fully fluent in Chinese, and eventually moved to China in 1942 to investigate these claims and to research the entire history of Chinese invention. That work led to an astonishing voyage of historical discovery. Needham originally planned to write a book cataloguing Chinese inventions, but his first volume barely scratched the surface of his subject. He slowly gatherred many of his students into this enterprise, and they eventually wrote a collection of 26 books, to catalog the history of Chinese discovery.

What this tells us is that these general global rankings do not inform us much about science-technology rankings. As to the US superiority in medical schools, that can be discounted by the number of Americans that actually have access to the best medical treatment. China's institutions are coming from not even appearing in the top 100 a decade ago.

Fundamental factor which We always tend to overlook. American High school / Elementary school is in shambles.

No surprise here: the concept of a moral, well-run society rooted in a professional class selected by meritocratic examination comes from China, which tied education, good governance and civil services 2,000 years ago. Prospective office-holders would spend years studying classic texts in math, poetry, history, etc., then take a written exam. The British adopted this system in the 1850s for their own civil service system, based on a proposal written by Trevelyan and Northcote, two officials who were familiar with this 'Mandarin' system.

The generational impact of Chinese university education is yet to be seen. Over the past couple hundred years, the majority of the world's leaders were educated in Western universities, especially Atlantic UK & US ones like Oxford, Harvard, Princeton, & Yale. They were conditioned and trained for Western democracy and capitalism. China is now educating the future leaders of the Global South where they can see the general prosperity of a market socialist economy under a meritocratic bureaucracy, and receive education in Communism with Chinese Characteristics so that they can implement it at home. In 20 years, the West will be in for a rude shock as the Global South takes back their economies.

It's relatively easy to understand and agree with the domestic view of 'home grown' is better - for a variety of reasons - and why spend huge $$$ to fund such extravagance that does not help the home country? The same is true back here in the way we now run our universities - much of what is taught (for big $$) is basically worthless - from an educational point or as a 'network' value. Thanks for the message. With Yale accepting EDI, that says it all. Unlike most of the West, the Orient has always taken the 'long view' as it has been around for thousands of years with deep, unwavering ties to history, 'family' and cultural tradition. All in all, not a bad way to live and pass on life.

The Anglo--Saxon universities in US, UK and Australia take overseas students to boost their income. Decisions (e.g. to admit) there are often taken on financial grounds. China is not taking on overseas students to make money. They don't have to. The top ones take overseas students if they are promising and can return to help their home countries. Often they can receive scholarships.

Affordability, quality and reliability. That’s what China offers to the world at large in every spectrum. In addition, China extends an open arm to the developing countries to share its success with them. Unlike the US empire, whose sole goal is to preserve its hegemonic power so as to continue to dominate the world, China’s vision of the world is vastly different and superior - a harmonious and peaceful world where everyone prospers and no single country dominates the rest. To understand and appreciate why China does things a certain way, one must first understand China’s vision and therefore its motivations. Kevin, I reject the notion that China is educating the brightest minds from other developing countries with an ulterior motive - the calculus that one day these China-educated intellectuals would favor China in some way. That’s exactly the mindset of colonialists and imperialists from the west - always calculating how to dominate others through manipulation. China genuinely believes in their higher vision of the world. It is lending a helping hand to countries that are hoping to travel the same path that China has. That’s the Confucius way - be humble and generous to others. That’s the only way to achieve harmony.

It simply just doesn't make sense to pay 10x more tuition fee to get similar quality of education. You can use that extra money as downpayment for house or as capital to start a business after graduate.

In Australia universities have become cash cows. They only run two twelve week semesters a year, permanent staff have been replaced by hourly paid students in many cases and courses are often just thrown together with low quality online content. Overseas students are charged like wounded bulls while the Vice-Chancellors all earn over a million dollars and never see their students. The annual student loan debt repayment is his higher than Australia collects each year from its natural resources taxes.

Wow, I was just wondering why you were so wise, Kevin. I didn’t realize that you’re in academia, in Singhua of all places. Happy for you.

China's main objective is willing to invest in the long-term to build The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI or B&R). In order to improve their future, corporations must win with mutual respect. As humans, we all require a better life. The superior man makes the difficulty to be overcome his first interest; success only comes later.

I didnt know about the scholarships to China but it makes perfect sense. When you have co-operation and collaboration underpinned by effective strategic planning thats got to deliver results. Whether the demands of the intense work ethic that runs in parallel to this is sustainable long term is another matter entirely.

For Latin American students, all they need to do is to look at history and see what the Europeans has done to them for the past several centuries, they would turn to China in a heartbeat.

you can't interpret 'haigui' as sea turtle although they shared the same pronunciation "gui" but "gui" in this context is returnee.haigui means overseas returnee.

It is a page out of Singapore's education system.

Most of the professors in US universities are of Chinese descent.

most of the mathematics students who graduate and become professors in the american universities are all chinese and they are moving back to china and teaching there similar to india. most high tech jobs that cross through medical technology are all chinese engineers and are moving to china so to say chinese universities (back in the day) wasn't competitive is an understatement. most of the chinese students learn geometry and algebra in 5th grade and calculus in 7th grade, advanced calculus in 9th grade when they come to the universities in usa it's a breeze to them as they become teacher's assistant to teach other undergraduates, similar with india they do the same thing.

Queen’s University in Canada Ontario introduced a lottery application system( given that they met the threshold marks) for new students applying to the new medical program 😅. I don’t understand the benefit of that logic.

Must give credit where credit is due. The Chinese university system has vastly improved and the Chinese outreach policies outlined here are very wise. The U.S. must rethink its outreach approach to South and Central America. The U.S must also increase focus on STEM and computer science at every level. I am teaching myself Spanish to add to my English and German. Thank you, Mr. Walmsley.

Tuition in private universities is around $42,000. Add in room and board and take that number X4, and it much more than $200,000.

It's not really about US university vs Chinese university. It's just good vs bad, and Chinese universities have been just getting better. If you have a PhD from MIT, Chinese still recognizes that as valuable. My friend did PhD at Georgia tech, post doc at MIT, and now is professor at Peking university. In fact, university professors are filled with top US graduates, especially in AI. The confound here is there are two kinds of students who study abroad from China. Those who are talented and got in on merits, and those with rich parents who paid money 😅

I just graduated with a BA Economics from an American University and I'm looking to continue my education in China so I can contribute to BRI. Infastructure here is so bad and anti-social in America that no amount of money makes me want to stay anymore. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Chinese Universities?

Great video! I remember a Charlie Rose episode in the 2000s when he interviewed a Columbia University provost who spent a year in China studying and recommending improvements to Chinese universities, on an invitation from the Chinese government. The academic concluded that Chinese universities are rising but will never catch up to US universities because they lack the requisite academic freedom and cited, for support, the fall of preeminent German universities after the Nazis came to power.
