      THIS IS THE REASON WHY EVERY CHINESE POLITICIAN IS HIGHLY EDUCATED & VERY INTELLGENT!
      Unlike US politicians, who only need obey orders from war mongering gangsters!
      Example:
      Llyod Austin, US defence secretary - only a batchelor's degree in science from West Point University.
      Chinese counterpart, Li Shangfu - an aerospace scientist and graduate of a very prestigeous Chinese university.

    Best wishes to your next paper. Congrats for publishing the first one. Many decades ago, a PhD really meant something. The PhD holder is one who made a major and new contribution to a special field of study, a true expert. Over the decades, the qualification for PhD has been watered down all over the world. It is encouraging that at least some Chinese universities are insisting on top quality research for their PhD candidates. There is a derisive term in China these days called 水碩, literally "water Master-degree." It refers to Chinese "graduate" students who went to some questionable universities for one year, mainly in the UK, to get their Master degree. They return to China showing the foreign degree applying for jobs. For a time some HR interviewers did not know better and hired these people who are not qualified.

      it makes sense ,why would China ask more for a PhD. They graduate a lot more students in the same fields , since a big chuck of chinese population choose very high quality and technical degrees like yours, so because the market is saturated , they need to make sure the people who get that degree will have superior experience in their field than average student elsewhere. For example there was a top economist in US media ,who told the reasons why China will be unstoppable its economic development , he was for 30 minutes explaining one by one with very well documented research he did , and one of those things he found is the ridiculous level of competition in china , for example he found that every year CHina graduates a million of engineers. High tech careers in science and space are extremely popular in China among students ,since so many companies opens in China , and while China graduates 1 million per year , USA graduates 250k per year. For comparisons Japan graduated less than 100k. per year , Taiwan even less . Point is CHina massive advantage in population is being motivated by the government to get into high tech degrees , is like a culture on its own to become a scientist or an engineer to make proud your family and population follows the advices of their goverment. This is why China is doing quantum Jumps in the high tech industry , they are receiving not only a lot of scientist and matematicians from their own population ,but also lots of high degrees talent from US and EUROPE moving to china too , and chinese students abroad returning to China.Everyone likes to be with those that lead and or those that appear to be riding better the next major wave . Just previous days saw a report of two Russian Champions one in mathematics another in programming who got first place in international contest to be joining Huawei. CHina is very serious in becoming the world brains in technology and science and investing a fortune in that . And the salaries their companies offer surpass the west. its like a technology war for the top position . Congratulations for passing your test. @@livinlavidaluke​

    Yes, to get a degree or Masters in UK and Australia is relatively easy. I suspect this is their way of getting more overseas students and the fees they have to pay. This therefore means the standards of these UK and Australia institutions have dropped. This would probably applies to the universities in the USA.
    Maybe China should not make it so drastically tough, students may break down and go mental, which is not the desired outcome.

    The qualification exam at the University I went to in the US was over 3 days (and nights I must add). Questions cover, if I remember, 5 or 6 (broad) subjects chosen from a list such as structural engineering, applied mechanics, rock mechanics, hydraulics and so on (my major was Civil Engineering). It was gruesome (no internet at the time, so I spent most of it in the library).

    I have no doubt that the level in China is incredible high. However, it is not true that you do not have to publish at all in Europe. It certainly depends on the discipline, e.g. in computer science or mathematics you certainly have to publish as a first author (at least where I am from).

    Hey luke, you must be excited about this news!!! definitely go and get that green card in China! Here in NZ, it is the same, immigration NZ recently released a new PR policy that if you are PhD holder recognized by the NZ educational system with a full-time job offer anywhere in NZ, you will automatically be granted an NZ residency and an NZ green card (permanent residency) after work for 2 years. This shows how most countries now recognise the importance of skilled workers with a PhD qualification. However, the NZ educational system only recognized Chinese universities that are within the category of either 211 or 985. PhD holders from non-211 or non-985 Universities are not considered. But Shanghai Jiaotong should be all fine! I guess...:)😀😀
