China’s strategic move on rare earth metals and critical mineral
China has heavily invested in education, science, technology, and innovation since it launched reforms and opened up in 1978. In early days, China sent its youth to world-class universities all over the world and developed quality human resources. In the next stage, China focused on upgrading their own universities and invested within Chinese universities. Curricula were modernized, and teaching methods were improved. Exam systems were changed, and they started to catch up with the global universities and struggled to achieve global ranking. As a result, today, around a dozen universities have achieved status in the top hundred universities of the world, and nearly a hundred universities fall among the top 500 universities of the top global universities.
