Computer science and technology at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
Chinese technical education was severely curtailed during the cultural revolution, when senior professors often experienced great difficulties.

The new computing curricula are modelled on ACM/IEEE recommendations, albeit set in a Chinese cultural environment, and in general Tsinghua is supported by modern US technology.
