Why is Nanshan Branch of Shenzhen Peking University High School Private?

Because it belongs to individuals. Shenzhen Nanshan Branch, a senior high school affiliated to Peking University, was established in May 2000. It is a basic education development project of Shenzhen-Hong Kong Industry-University-Research Base. It is jointly run by Peking University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Shenzhen Municipal Government, so it belongs to an individual. Shenzhen, referred to as Pengcheng for short, is a sub-provincial city, a city under separate state planning, a megacity in Guangdong Province, a China Special Economic Zone approved by the State Council, a national economic center city and an international city.
