Abstract: Background: China launched in 2013 a global project called the One Belt One Road (OBOR), renamed later the Belt and Road Inititive. This idea of modernization also exists for the higher education. Objective: This is an overview of China's higher education and prospects of development. Method: Reading and enquiry shows that China's higher education is global and has ambitious programs on higher education. Result: Between 1990 and 2010, in just twenty years, China made unbelievable progresses in higher education and stands probably unique in the world history for its progresses. The number of universities in China was 1908 in 2007, 2491 in 2013 and 2631 in 2017 (Statista 2019). This number has increased constantly over the past decade. In 2012, 400,000 of mainland China students left and studied abroad, in 2013 this number increased to 420,000 and became 550,000 in 2016 (China’s Minister of Education). The number of foreign students who came to study in China was 320,000, 380,000 and 440,000 in 2012, 2013 and 2016 respectively. In 2019, the first university of China was Tsinghua University in Beijing, followed by Beijing University, Zhejiang University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. In the world university ranking table, Tsinghua was respectively ranked the 71st in 2012, 52nd in 2013, 30th in 2018 and 22nd in 2019. There are huge changes in higher education in China, and student mobility in higher education is high. Conclusion: This paper compares globalization, and study in particular glocalization. China certainly accepts the fact that it is more convenient to retain some Chinese local tradition, and keeps the best norms of the international higher education adapted to the Chinese cultural concepts. This is probably why China’s higher education has reached its present high level.

Abstract: Identifying and avoiding education rent-seeking is an important issue in improving the structure of education governance and establishing a modern education governance system. By using critical discourse analysis, his study attempts to explore rent-seeking within education powers under the separation system.“Collusion” is a new type of rent-seeking in education powers under the background of the separation of supervision, running and evaluation.Once it happens, it will bring serious hazards in governance.Moreover, collusion is overlooked easily.Previous research on education rent-seeking was mostly concentrated on rent-seeking of “monopoly power”; However, far too little attention has been paid to the rent-seeking of “union power” that may appear in the separation system of supervision, running and evaluation.Collusion is also known as conspiracy and complicity. The study found that the forms of collusion in education include the collusion between running and evaluation and the collusion between supervision and running.The“essence”of education collusion is to seek union rent in a more subtle form.Collusion in education may generate “potential hazards”of disrupting the cooperative order of honesty and trustworthiness, reducing the level of interaction and cooperation, gaining the short-term union but damaging the public interest ultimately, thus causing serious threats to the “benign interaction among supervision, running and evaluation”.
