For those who are wondering, here is the Oxford kama

The U.S.’s pre-eminence among the world’s top research universities continues to diminish, according to a new global ranking, while Chinese universities are on the rise, producing a greater quantity and higher quality of research than ever before.
This year’s World University Rankings, released Tuesday by Times Higher Education, a British publication that tracks education, also named University of Oxford in England the world’s leading research university for the seventh straight year.
The U.S. and U.K. continue to dominate the upper echelon of the rankings, with the U.S. taking seven of the top 10 slots and Britain three. Oxford is followed by Harvard University, University of Cambridge, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology, Princeton University, University of California, Berkeley, Yale University and Imperial College London.
But among the top 100 universities, the number of those in the U.S. fell to 34 from 43 between 2018 and this year. The number of Chinese universities in the top 100 increased from two to seven.
“The data is very clear: America can no longer take for granted its decadeslong dominance of world higher education and research, and it is China that is leading the challenge,” said Phil Baty, the rankings editor.
The number of Chinese scholarly publications has been growing steadily since the mid-1990s, but as recently as this year it was widely believed in the Western academic community that the quality of Chinese scholarship still lagged behind Western nations.
*** Not only was China producing more research than the U.S. and Europe overall but a higher percentage of that research was among the top 1% of papers most cited globally. Dr. Wagner and her colleagues found that China surpassed Europe in high-quality research in 2015 and the U.S. in 2019.

Whatta bout the Woke ranking of US unis?
Skepticism is good and healthy, imho, but before yentirely throwing the red flag and calling BS, you might want to take the time to look at the utter failures of the US K12 system and that of the University/College system and what it is producing.

China sends its eggheads here
And its spies
Any, and all, statistics coming out of China are lies.
Yeah, well just wait until they start firing their professors teaching organic chemistry courses that are too difficult.
I think our schools suck, but China sending kids here to our schools is a BIG business. That tells me something.
China sends its egghead spies here.
I guess the US universities have to become more like the Chinese! Right?
All part of the plan.
Now the Wharton School of Business is offering majors in Wokism (DEI) and ESG! Seriously!

Unbelievable! Unacceptable!
Damn straight. No one can match the US in teaching DEI along with a big helping of ethnic studies. The Chinese don’t even try to compete with us! Oh, wait . . .
China has not let it’s education become a Hell of Woke nitwittery. They know that the useful idiots over here exist to destroy our civilization, and do not tolerate that stupidity at home.
Why, our gender pronounists grads are tops in the world. The Canucks cannot compete. The Brits bristle at their inferiority. The Aussies are in awe, and the New Zealanders are zealous in their jealousy.
Thanks, leftist US teacher unions….
No way!!!
They’re teaching their third graders advanced calculus while we’re teaching ours that men can get pregnant. What did we think was going to happen?
Not to mention many in the GOP.
