Several universities in Taiwan did have a good reputation 20 years ago, but in the past 20 years, it is not that there has been no progress, but that the progress has not been as fast as other places, and they are relatively backward. "This phenomenon indicates that no matter how Taiwan’s GDP rises, Taiwan’s top universities Unable to support GDP, the talents of Made in Taiwan (Made in Taiwan) are not enough".
He went on to criticize that some university presidents in Taiwan are still solitary and arrogant. For example, President Guo Mingzheng of the National Chengchi University has publicly declared that Tsinghua University and Peking University in the mainland are "very backward places."
Cai Zhengyuan said that the UK is very discriminatory and jealous of China, but the UK QS is the most influential and credible institution for university evaluation. The 2021 World University Rankings published by it show that Taiwan Chengchi University ranks 590th in the world and Beijing Tsinghua University ranks. 15th, Peking University ranked 23rd; Taiwan’s best university, Taiwan University ranked 66th in the world, also lost to Shanghai Fudan, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and also to Zhejiang University, not to mention that the National Chengchi University lost even worse. A place that is very backward? The self-knowledge that the president of the National Chengchi University should have is also very backward. How can we lead the National Chengchi University forward?"
