The total enrolment at public universities and colleges in China increased to 12.14 million in 2001, vs 6.43 million in 1998, and it is estimated that at present there are still about 1.3 million qualified school-leavers/yr being refused university places in China as a result of lack of capacity. It is this that the British universities are hoping to exploit.
