If we have to divide the top two universities into good universities and poor universities, HKU has a long history and is old-fashioned, but its development has stagnated in recent years and it has a tendency to be gradually surpassed by HKU. At present, there are more places for 6A candidates in the local examination in Hong Kong (equivalent to the first place in the mainland college entrance examination) to apply for the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
In terms of economy and finance, the Chinese University of Hong Kong is better. Its business school has been established for decades, with alumni all over Hong Kong business circle and strong faculty. For example, economist Lang Xianping teaches at a university. HKU School of Economics and Finance was established in 200 1, and its reputation and alumni resources are not inferior to the former.
