there are different incentives for university in china. most high school students need to take an national entrance exam to get to university. but this entrance exam mark is also based on the number of universities in your province, so if you province have a lot of universities compared to people, then the grade u need to get in is lower, if a province like shangdong, where there is not enough universities and a lot of people, the mark needed to get in a university will be a lot higher. the highest mark possible is 720. provinces like Jiangsu, shangdong, hubei are traditionally high mark provinces, and places like beijing, shanghai, and tibet only need very low marks in the high 300s or 400s. while the high mark places need maybe 500s and 600s.
but if the student is just extremly smart in high school and did very well, like a 99% average or something in an elite school (schools have rankings in china). then some universities might decide to "bao song" you. which means they don't need u to take a entrance exam and just let you in. usually in this case, they also give full scholarships.
of course if you can score within the high 600s and low 700s on your entrance exams, top schools will literatly sent people to your door and beg you to go to their university and give u money to go. after first year, most scholarships are very much like scholarships in north america, you need certain GPA to apply for or need to do certain things in school.

First of all, i am a chinese who is studying in Canada. i am in Engineering Physics. My stream is photonics engineering. Photonics deals a lot of laser stuff. Basiclly, fibre communication, semiconductor lasers and high power lasers are the areas that we learn. We also learn how to fabricate semiconductor devices on a siliocn wafer. I guess in the near future, high power LEDs will replace the normal light bulb due to its high efficiency(theoretically up to 100% efficiency) . Also, the integrated optics will replace integrated circuits. In the tiny silicon chip, we can put photodetectors, laser diodes, multiplexer and optical path in it. The device has many advantages over integrated circuits.:china:
