Abstract: Non-state-run education in the People’s Republic of China, increasingly successful as the country intensified its efforts in education system reform for more than 40 years, has become a significant powerhouse of educational innovation and is now a most active component of Chinese education with its unique emphasis on students-oriented pedagogy and services. The Law of Promoting Non-state-run Education, in effect since November 2016, defines non-state-run schools into two categories, those of a profit or non-profit nature, and is especially favorable to promote non-profit non-state-run higher education. The non-profit non-state-run colleges have been offered unprecedented advantages in finance, taxation and land use, and are developing side by side with public institutions of higher education in China and reciprocally with private institutions of international education. As they are cooperating with worldwide top rank colleges and top rank disciplines, Chinese non-state-run institutions of higher education have made rapid progress and will locate many more opportunities and potentials for further development.
