From a peak of 43 universities in the top 100 five years ago, the U.S. now has 34. China heads in the opposite direction, moving from two in the top 100 to seven over the same period.

China claims its highest-ever spot, with Tsinghua University moving into 16th, overtaking Peking University, in 17th. Nanjing University moves into the top 100 for the first time, at 95th, and China now has 11 universities inside the top 200.

“The data is very clear: we are seeing a real shift in the balance of power in the global knowledge economy, away from the traditionally dominant western world,” he said.

“While the U.S. and U.K. remain dominant in terms of their representation at the very top of the rankings, their relative power is waning: mainland China leads a strengthening in East Asia, taking more and more of the top 200 places, and the Middle East is seeing a real renaissance in higher education.”

? Like universities from china/russia/iran/cuba would ever get fair representative on any of these western university promotional rankings.

British list will rank Oxford as 1.
American list will rank MIT /Harvard as 1.
So as to imply their own university is the best in the world.

These rankings by British and American are more of bogus than accurate, at best biased, you see the American ranking putting Harvard, Stanford and MIT at the very top while the British ranking putting Oxford and Cambridge at the very top, then followed by majority of American and British universities at other top spots. I wonder why German and French unviversities are never ranked very high in US and British rankings ? And I suppose these two countries higher educations are no less than the American and British to be accurate. So, their rankings are just American and British own opinions only. Besides, all the evaluations assumed the universities are conducted in English, is this really fair and accurate ?
