In China, there is no separation between government and schools, and the appointment of presidents of public universities is decided by government agencies at all levels according to the administrative level of universities. The administrative level of public universities in China is generally divided into three levels: deputy department level, main department level and deputy department level. Vice-ministerial colleges are generally junior colleges, main ministerial colleges are undergraduate courses, and vice-ministerial colleges are relatively strong undergraduate courses.

University presidents at the deputy department level and the main department level are generally appointed by the provincial government or the Ministry of Education according to the different departments in charge of the university. For example, Shandong Tourism Vocational College in Shandong is a deputy department level, and its president is appointed by the Shandong provincial government.
Shandong University of Science and Technology and Qingdao University of Technology are official departments, and their presidents are also appointed by the Shandong provincial government. Although China Youshi University and China Ocean University are also official departments, the competent departments of these two universities are the Ministry of Education, so the presidents are appointed by the Ministry of Education.
Among the 42 "double-class" universities in China, except China Ocean University, Northeastern University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Minzu University of China, South China University of Technology, Hunan University, East China Normal University, Zhengzhou University, Yunnan University and Xinjiang University, the other 32 "double-class" universities are all deputy ministerial level.
