Tsinghua University (Wu Yufei 29:15)

Tsinghua University (Tsinghua; simplified Chinese: 清华大学), colloquially known in Chinese as Qinghua, is a university in Beijing, China. The school is one of the nine universities of the C9 League. It was established in 1911 under the name "Tsinghua Xuetang" or "Tsinghua College" and was renamed the "Tsinghua School" one year later. The university section was founded in 1925 and the name "National Tsinghua University" was adopted in 1928. With a motto of Self-Discipline and Social Commitment, Tsinghua University describes itself as being dedicated to academic excellence, the well-being of Chinese society and to global development. Tsinghua is almost always ranked as the first or second best university in mainland China in many national and international ranking.

Admission to Tsinghua is extremely competitive. Every year, many applicants scoring the highest in the National College Entrance Exams choose Tsinghua. In 2008, 215 out of 300 students who scored the top 10 in the 30 tested provinces and regions chose Tsinghua and 21 out of the 30 top scorers in each province and region chose the university. A majority of selected students are among the brightest high school graduates in the country. Admissions to its graduate schools are also daunting by any measure. For instance, only 16% of MBA applicants are admitted, making it as competitive as the renowned Wharton School MBA program at the University of Pennsylvania. The current Chinese president, Hu Jintao, is a former Tsinghua student who graduated with a degree in hydraulic engineering in 1964. The current Chinese vice president, Xi Jinping, is a former Tsinghua student who graduated with a degree in chemical engineering in 1979. The University's Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology is on a separate campus in a northern suburb of Beijing.
Tsinghua has a reputation for hosting some of the most distinguished guest speakers of any university in the world, with international leaders such as Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Henry Kissinger, Carlos Ghosn, and Henry Paulson, all recently giving lectures to the university community.
As of 2003, Tsinghua University had 12 colleges and 48 departments, 41 research institutes, 35 research centers, and 167 laboratories, including 15 national key laboratories. In September 2006, Peking Union Medical College was renamed to Peking Union Medical College, Tsinghua University, although the Peking Union Medical College and Tsinghua University remain two separate institutions.The university offers 51 bachelor's degree programs, 139 master's degree programs and 107 Ph.D. programs. Recently, Tsinghua has become the first Chinese university to offer a Master of Laws program in American law, through a cooperative venture with the Temple University Beasley School of Law. The university is a member of LAOTSE, an international network of leading universities in Europe and Asia. Each year, the University celebrates the Intellectual Property Summer Institute in cooperation with Franklin Pierce Law Center of Concord, New Hampshire. It has its own editorial, Tsinghua University Press.

If this is the China that wants to kill Americans and start world war 3, then unicorns and the spaghetti monster do exist. It's hard to accept that scenario when you see how humble and determined these kids, their parents and mentors are. Far from a nation of war mongering imperialists, they're simply making up for lost time.

Too... much... kids... crying... cant... watch.

education will leave the reduction of hate, just saying

[SinoBlabber]

@Zhijing78 They ain't better than the people overindulge themselves, and they don't respect others' choice. Strict education is necessary, which is your own choice. But you ought to remember one thing "goodness is by chosen, and nothing must be true".

[SinoBlabber]

@Zhijing78 You think strict education is necessary, since you think something must be right. And you wanna intrude your own opinion into others' brains, because you think it's good for them. But no one can judge anything absolutely right. For example, the life likes the square, the lifespan is length and the happiness is width. There are same people dwell on width(sense of happiness), so they addicted in drugs, alcohol, sex and all.

[Zhijing78]

@SinoBlabber Strict education is necessary. There are something can be changed, I totally agree. And good methods should be kept, this topic is too big to expand. The example you used, I agree; however, some other words I totally disagree. but w/e, you believe what you believe. Still: strict education is necessary

[SinoBlabber]

@Zhijing78 What's more, they always tell students what should they do before somebody will visit the school, and the altitude is always tough and serious. Even they don't wanna threat students as this, but it scares students indeed since kids are always fragile.

[SinoBlabber]

@Zhijing78 come on... It happens all the time, maybe you just get used to it. For example, if you cannot recite something, the teacher would force you standing for the whole class. And they might beat your hand when you do somethings they think it is wrong...In addition, they call parents all the time due to some trivial things. And meanwhile they seldom blame parents or try to help students when they find out the parent use violence to "educate" kids.

@latchbox You are a total dumbass. It is the government and the PLA who demonize Americans.

[Tiilt]

@latchbox China has no interest in destroying America as it's already a thing of the past. China owns most of your debt and Americans can't stop buying useless crap made there on credit. These Children study 16 hours a day, what makes you think Americans have anyway to compete when most of them can't even place their country on a map ?
