Extended data

It is an epoch-making achievement that university education has moved from elite to popular. However, compared with world-class universities, our famous universities still have a big gap. In this ranking, there are only two universities in China, Tsinghua University and Peking University, which rank 49th and 72nd respectively. We should face up to such a gap. Although many universities in China have put forward the goal of "becoming a world-class university", the slogan is inspiring. The key is to base ourselves on the reality of China, intensify the reform, learn from others' strengths and use them for our own benefit.
