The people compiling the World University Rankings have now realized that there is a wealth of cutting-edge innovations being written about by Chinese Scientists and research departments of Chinese Universities like Beijing and Tsinghua that cannot be ignored anymore.
How did they suddenly have a change of mind about including them, when in the past they just basically ignored such research papers all written in Chinese, which few analysts care to read and consider. It was only when they began to notice the innovations going on under their noses, like EV and battery technology, high-speed rail construction, space exploration success, jet engine development, shipbuilding, dam construction expertise that they started to realize that they missed out perusing a lot of important research papers written in Chinese but having important criteria that needs to be considered when ranking top universities around the world.
In Science and Technolgy, it can be considered that China ranks among the top globally, just looking at the patents filed, but the biased against Chinese research papers written purely in Chinese have made the past University rankings obsolete and I would say, nonsensical.
Having said that, I still believe there is a deep-seated biased against anything outside the Anglo-Saxon circle, and I would not expect much will change in terms of the rankings. How could Chinese universities upset the status quo of Western universities, from a Socialist country ruled by a dictator. The same way that Chinese people are denied their place at the top of the Happiness Index.
Oh my God, as in the Happiness Index they may even remove all the Chinese Universities in the rankings list going forward if these Chinese Universities really rise to the very top under a more truthful criterion.

They removed China from the Happiness Index so the Anglo-Saxon White countries can remain on top of the Index. Who are they trying to kid? It is great that so many saw the sleight of hand fiddling with the Index. Many now think the Happiness Index is a fabricated piece of propaganda.
When they could not compete with Huawei, they banned Huawei, using National Security excuses that have yet to be proven. Now they are faking a narrative that they are ahead with developing 7G. When they could not compete with Tik Tok, they wanted to ban it or otherwise forcing it to be sold to their own USA entities.
They are now facing a dilemma regarding Rednote, and are making plans to ban it for educating USA citizens about what a responsible government should be doing by looking after citizen's interest first and foremost. The fact that it is a Socialist Government is doing far better than what a Democratic Government should be doing is even more damaging.
Now they have a big headache regarding DeepSeek and are trying to demonize and banning it, using all kinds of fabricated reasons to keep it from cannibalizing their multi-billion dollars investments from going to waste. It is already a waste, throwing all that money and failing to even do better than a new upstart. The desperation is so critical that the administration is touted to be debating, using laws to punish those that download the app, with a 20-year prison sentence or a million dollar fine.
Welcome to the land of the free that gives citizens no choice with fabricated freedom.
