Extended data:

The current situation of university classification in China;

1. There are many universities in China, but their international competitiveness is not strong. When considering the classification of research universities, we basically learn from the classification standards of other countries in order to put our research universities on the stage of international competition. As a result, the proportion of research universities in China is too small, which is not commensurate with China's strategy of "rejuvenating the country through science and education".

2. Compared with other countries' research universities, China's research universities already have considerable international competitiveness in personnel training, but they still need to be improved in terms of teachers' personal research ability and comprehensive strength of universities.

3. Compared with other countries, China's research universities receive less government research funds, which is far from the goal of building an internationally competitive research university in China.

4. The lack of widely influential scientific research output is the main index limiting the number of research universities in China. Although the scientific research output of universities has been greatly improved in recent years, compared with developed countries, the per capita index is still relatively low.
