Since the reform and opening up, the country has successively implemented the "2 1 1" project and the "985" project, as well as the supplementary "innovation platform for dominant disciplines" and "key disciplines with characteristics", which have effectively improved the level of higher education in China and made great contributions to educational modernization.

According to media reports, the references to "985" project and "2 1 1" project in official documents have gradually faded in recent years. For example, in the work points of the Ministry of Education 20 15, there is no separate mention of promoting the "985" project and the "2 1 1" project. At the end of last year, the State Council issued the Overall Plan for Promoting the Construction of World-class Universities and First-class Disciplines, and China officially launched the construction of "Double First-class" universities. According to this plan, we will strive to make a number of universities and disciplines in China enter the world-class ranks by 2020.
