Even in Jiangsu province, where the education level is relatively high, there are many "nominal universities", which cajole thousands of students into applying for the exam every year.

In order to make the name of the school louder, it is changed to the full name of a branch of a well-known school. This is an industry term, which means that an institution or organization is subordinate to or attached to another institution or organization. As far as the construction industry is concerned, it refers to the behavior that a construction enterprise allows others to undertake projects in its own name within a certain period of time.

Enterprises that allow others to use their own names are affiliated enterprises, and the corresponding enterprises or individuals (individual industrial and commercial households and other natural persons with business activities) that use the names of affiliated enterprises are affiliated persons.

The Supreme People's Court did not directly define this behavior as "affiliation" when he formulated the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Applicable Legal Issues in the Trial of Construction Contract Disputes, but expressed it as "borrowing", that is, unqualified actual builders borrowed qualified construction enterprises to engage in construction, and "affiliation" and "borrowing" are actually the same concept.
