Chinese Higher Education
Many of the claims that students interviewed made about the way Chinese universities teach was supported by research. One article shares the perspective of the chancellor of Fudan University, Yang Yuliang, who states, “The university spirit in China is really lost,” says Yang. “It's a reflection of the whole society, which has gotten lost in utilitarianism. It's in a state of spiritual dehydration.” He blames the governments involvement in the university system for not allowing them enough autonomy. The Chinese university system is an important factor to look at when examining why so many Chinese students have come to America for higher education.
