Now take a look at the website for this esteemed institution:

Now I do not know how highly regarded the People's University of China is, but really...wtf?!
This is what the university says about itself:
Founded in 2005, School of Philosophy of Renmin University of China, whose predecessor was Department of Philosophy founded in 1956, is one of the largest centers for philosophy in the world and one of the strongest in China, with an international reputation for excellence in both teaching and research. At present, the faculty consists of 68 members, including 40 professors, covering a vast range of subjects within philosophy. The present dean is professor Feng Jun, the Vice-Chancellor of the University....
So it specialises in Philosophy...HMMMMmmmm...what would a philosopher say about this...does this reflect on the Chinese value system?
More worryingly...
The School of Philosophy has cultivated more than ten thousand students, underÂtaken more than one hundred naÂtional and ministerial scientific research projects, and won many national and ministerial awards for teaching and scienÂtific research achievements....
It has 'cultivated' more than 10000 students!!!
