The 'Double First-Class' (双一流) initiative launched in 2017 differs from the 985/211 programs primarily because:
-
A
It uses dynamic periodic evaluation rather than permanent designation, and includes both world-class universities and specific world-class disciplines
-
B
It has a larger number of designated universities
-
C
It applies only to graduate programs, not undergraduate
-
D
It is managed by provincial governments, not the central government
