The “double first-class” project university list, a new impetus for the development of China’s higher education sector, will soon be announced by China’s Ministry of Education (MOE).

　　中国的教育部不久就会宣布“双一流”工程大学名单，这是促进中国高等教育部门发展的新动力。

　　Even before the final list has officially come out, some universities have already informed the public that they are on the list, including Xinjiang University, Yunnan University, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Shanghai Jiaotong University.

　　在最终名单正式宣布前，一些大学早已通知公众它们位列名单当中，包括新疆大学、云南大学、哈尔滨工业大学和上海交通大学。

　　The term “double first-class,” which refers to “world-class university” and “world-class discipline,” was approved by the MOE, Ministry of Finance, and China’s deepening reform lead group in 2016. The project, in the form of five-year plans, envisages China having some 40 universities and a number of majors recognized as world-class by 2020.

　　On Sept. 13, the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) said via its official WeChat account that it is China’s only military academy on the list.

　　9月13日，国防科技大学通过其官方微信账号宣布，它是中国唯一一所上榜的军校。
