The Chinese government is spending billions of Yuan to higher education, with the hopes of propelling their top universities to the top ten. Currently China's highest-ranking school is Tsinghua at 49. Yale president, Richard Levin predicts that in twenty-five years time China will dominate the top ten in higher education.
I have conflicting thoughts on China's higher education. I think that it is wonderful that China can afford to put so much money into higher education. Their government must feel very strongly about improving their education.  On the other hand, I hope it creates some desire for the United States to stay on the top ten lists. Higher education is important, and I want the United States to continue to strive for improvement.
