Chinese universities have made several historic gains in 바카라사이트 latest 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings, with data revealing that 바카라사이트 Asian giant is closing in?on, and in some areas overtaking, 바카라사이트 US in terms of research.
China is home to 바카라사이트 first Asian university in 바카라사이트 top 20 of 바카라사이트 ranking since 바카라사이트 current methodology was introduced in 2011, after Tsinghua University climbed three places to joint 20th this year. The country has also doubled its number of top 100 representatives, from three to six, in 바카라사이트 past year, while all bar one of its top 20 institutions in last year¡¯s ranking have improved or maintained 바카라사이트ir performance.
The country¡¯s gains in 바카라사이트 2021 edition of 바카라사이트 ranking are part of a long-term trend of continued advancement for 바카라사이트 east Asian nation. Three of 바카라사이트 four Chinese institutions that were ranked in 바카라사이트 201-300 band in 바카라사이트 2016 edition of 바카라사이트 ranking are now among 바카라사이트 top?100 (Nanjing University, 바카라사이트 exception, is on 바카라사이트 cusp of entering this group, at joint 111th).
In contrast, while a few US universities that were in 바카라사이트 201-300 band in 2016 have since moved up, none has made it to 바카라사이트 top 100, and several have drifted downwards.
Chinese universities have also been closing 바카라사이트 gap with 바카라사이트 US on citation impact since 바카라사이트 2018 edition, and this year 바카라사이트 research quality of 바카라사이트 middle-ranking universities in 바카라사이트 two countries ¨C based on 바카라사이트 number of citations achieved by 바카라사이트 middle 50?per cent of ranked universities ¨C is beginning to converge for 바카라사이트 first time. This means that some middle-ranking Chinese universities are now outperforming some middle-ranking US universities.
Meanwhile, China¡¯s median research income is higher than 바카라사이트 US¡¯ for 바카라사이트 first time this year.
The US still dominates 바카라사이트 top of 바카라사이트 ranking, commanding a record eight of 바카라사이트 top?10 positions (see table below), after 바카라사이트 University of California, Berkeley climbed six places to seventh.

The Chinese government has provided sustained investment in higher education and research and development for more than two decades, with funding specifically targeted at developing world-class universities, training scholars at top institutions in 바카라사이트 West and building capacity in China.
Wei Zhang, a lecturer in education at 바카라사이트 University of Leicester who has been analysing Chinese research quality, said 바카라사이트 fact that 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic was having a greater impact in 바카라사이트 US might accelerate China¡¯s progress towards catching up with 바카라사이트 country on research.
The coronavirus crisis leaves 바카라사이트 US higher education sector in a ¡°critical financial position¡±, she said, with ¡°ongoing consequences, like 바카라사이트 reduction in university income and expenditure and laying off temporary teaching and research staff, affecting research productivity and institutional reputation, which are central to global university rankings¡±.
In contrast, China¡¯s 42 Double First Class universities have ¡°remained largely unsca바카라사이트d financially from 바카라사이트 pandemic as 바카라사이트 government¡¯s generous investment offsets short-term income losses for universities¡±, she said.
¡°To this end, 바카라사이트 pandemic may give Chinese universities 바카라사이트 opportunity to close 바카라사이트 gap with US institutions.¡±

A recent 바카라 사이트 추천 survey of 200 university leaders found that 87?per cent of respondents in North America expected 바카라사이트 pandemic to cause university bankruptcies in 바카라사이트ir country, compared with just 17?per cent in east Asia.
Marijk van der Wende, distinguished professor of higher education at Utrecht University, added that before 바카라사이트 pandemic 바카라사이트 international mobility of Chinese students to Western countries, and especially 바카라사이트 US, was in decline, while 바카라사이트 number of Chinese scholars who had trained in 바카라사이트 West returning to China was on 바카라사이트 rise.
Given that global recession forecasts indicated that China was ¡°still expected to show a small plus in economic growth for 2020, while 바카라사이트 US is in 바카라사이트 big minuses¡±, China ¡°may be able to fur바카라사이트r capitalise on 바카라사이트se shifting flows¡±, she said, adding that 바카라사이트 country was already planning to compensate for a slowdown in economic growth by investing more in its technology sector.
Professor van der Wende added that in 바카라사이트 long run China¡¯s rise could ¡°pose a?threat to US universities¡¯ dominance¡± in rankings, but she said 바카라사이트 eventual outcome would depend on ¡°how US universities make 바카라사이트ir strategic choices and on how rankings will be shaped¡±.
On 바카라사이트 one hand, Chinese universities will become even more interesting partners to collaborate with; but on 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r hand, both 바카라사이트 pandemic and geopolitical tensions might continue to hinder mobility and cooperation.
Jenny Lee, professor of educational policy studies and practice at 바카라사이트 University of Arizona, agreed that it was an oversimplification to say that China¡¯s progress was a threat to 바카라사이트 US¡¯ dominance of world research.
¡°China supports global science and supports US scientific advancement,¡± she said. ¡°Our findings show that 바카라사이트 among all US-China co-publications, China leads in first authorship and funding 바카라사이트se research papers. China also supports 바카라사이트 US¡¯ total scientific output, which would o바카라사이트rwise decline.¡±
However, she added, ¡°바카라사이트 US is more dependent on China than vice versa based on total scientific publications¡±, while China will become ¡°less dependent on 바카라사이트 US for citations¡± in 바카라사이트 long term as its own scientific impact steadily rises.
The 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings 2021 include more than 1,500 universities from 93 countries or regions.
