First, China's higher education has initially formed a system basically adapted to the socialist market economy, and basically determined the direction of further reform and development.

Through years of reform and development, China's higher education has formed a new management system, which is managed by the central and provincial governments, and the distribution structure of colleges and universities has become more reasonable. On the one hand, the central government has strengthened its support for universities in areas with relatively backward socio-economic and cultural development, including 2 1 1 projects, joint construction by provinces and departments, etc. On the other hand, it has changed the layout idea that universities are mainly concentrated in provincial capitals in the past, and established comprehensive universities named after these local cities in a large number of small and medium-sized cities.
