It accounts 77.6% for Shenzhen University’s total income. Sun Yat-sen University and South China University of Technology have the “Double First-rate “, “985” and “211” titles, its admissions score line ranks the first and second respectively in Guangdong. As the two most beautiful pearl in Guangdong’s universities, Sun Yat-sen University got 23.87 hundred million financial appropriation and South China University of Technology got 16.96 hundred million in 2016. The two universities’ financial appropriation was high,but only 33.7% of Sun Yat-sen University and 40% of South China University of Technology’s total income are from financial appropriation.
Although has the title “211”, Shantou University only got 3.97 hundred million financial appropriation in 2016.
A sentence says that Guangdong University of Foreign Studies is not “985” and “211”, GDUFS is GDUFS. GDUFS is not “985” or “211”, and it only got 4.72 hundred million financial appropriation.

Today China is on the peaceful rising road. Competition between countries in future will be on knowledge and professional people.
