China Higher Education



What is the definition of global superpower in the past ?
It was about armies or possession of nuclear weapons.

But nowadays it changed, most people will think about education first.
China is improving in the higher education rapidly. The government encourage them about education extremely. China is now the largest higher education system in the world: it awards more university degrees than the US and India combined.
In the recently, China produced just 5,000 PhD students per year. That was only half number in UK, Japan, and India. Then China overtaken every country in the world except the US in the number of doctoral degrees.

In my opinion, education in UK and US are more quality than China. However, china can improve their education rapidly. If I contrast with Thailand, I think Thailand improve very slowly and government do not support education for student who live in the countryside as expected.
