The collaboration among scientists, universities and industry is not new. Both the university administration and the industry play a role in developing the scientific knowledge in the academic environment. The university is usually responsible for obtaining patents and for licensing the rights for its professors’ inventions. The company, having licensed the product, must provide the considerable financial backing required for its development and marketing.
In the best of all possible worlds, the inventors, the university administrators and the company executives work as a well-oiled machine that creates a beneficial product and generates capital to support the academic lab, the scientist, the university and the company’s shareholders. In the real world, however, each of these component parts has its own agenda. The goal may not entirely overlap.

Chinese universities and American universities are different in many ways. First, Chinese students enroll in fewer courses each term than American students do. Second, unlike American students, Chinese students seldom live outside the campus. Instead, they live on the campus of the university. Third, most courses in Chinese universities are given by professors who lecture to their classes. In contrast, American professors often ask their students questions or allow them to form discussion groups. Fourth, Chinese professors ask students to write fewer papers than American professors do.

University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases constrained (强逼), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use.
