1. At present, there are two main forms of Sino-foreign cooperative education. First, independently established Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools, such as Xi Jiao Tong University, unnc, nyu shanghai, etc., and non-independently established Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools, such as Beihang University School of French and Chinese Engineers, Tongji University School of Sino-German Engineering, Jilin University Lymton College, etc.

2. Sino-foreign cooperative education projects, such as China Agricultural University and University of Colorado (Denver), Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Queen Mary College in London. Up to now, more than 2,000 Chinese-foreign cooperative education projects have been approved nationwide.

After more than ten years' development, Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools has entered the stage of improving the entry threshold for foreign investors. However, just as some places are eager to attract investment and introduce polluting projects eliminated by others, a considerable number of foreign partners in Sino-foreign cooperative education are second-rate and third-rate schools in their countries, and even some fake schools.

Candidates should be reminded that even a very famous university in China may have the possibility that the foreign partner is a third-rate school. Therefore, before the exam, candidates should focus on understanding the situation of foreign schools and avoid hitting the "foreign diploma mill".
