More than a fifth of courses established by Sino-foreign partnerships since 1994 have been terminated, according to China’s education ministry, when it issued a new list of terminations last week.

The ministry in its notice of 4 July says it terminated 234 partnerships between Chinese and foreign institutions, including five jointly managed institutions, without mentioning when the terminations occurred.

The largest number of shutdowns were joint courses with United Kingdom institutions – about 60 on the list, then Australia with 45. About two dozen United States joint courses have been shuttered.

My first job in China turned out to be a fake partnership between a Chinese high school and a fake Australian university.

Is China really cleaning house of "low quality" partnerships, or is China acting to reduce foreign influence in China ?

It seems to me that they are actually still increasing or evolving. Seen several partnerships with UK universities recently that are new to me this year. These are typical posts:

Interesting! Many thanks for posting those links.

I am considering, for sometime in the future, to apply for a position at such a partnership; again, the info is appreciated.

Warm regards,
