Why does the country not support the University of South China?

This statement is not accurate, and the state does not support the University of South China. On the contrary, as a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education, the state attaches great importance to Nanjing University.

Nanhua University, located in Hengyang, a prefecture-level city in Hunan Province, has received support from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the National Health Commission and the Hunan Provincial Government. In addition, the former Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China Nuclear Industry Construction Group Corporation and the State Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, etc. University of South China is supported by five ministries and commissions (central enterprises).

The name of the University of South China is actually the new name after the merger of universities at the turn of the century. The University of South China was formed by the merger of three universities and scientific research institutions: Central South Institute of Technology, Hengyang Medical College and the Sixth Research Institute of Nuclear Industry. It can be said that it is a prestigious school, but the merged name of South China University does not show the advantages and characteristics of the school.

Let's take a look at the basic situation before the merger of the three universities and scientific research institutions, and we can roughly understand why Nanhua University, a provincial university located in a prefecture-level city in Hunan Province, has received strong support from so many national ministries and commissions.

First of all, Central South University of Technology is affiliated to China National Nuclear Corporation, which is responsible for training urgently needed nuclear technical talents for the country. In addition, the Sixth Research Institute of Nuclear Industry was established in 1962, which is the only research institution of uranium mining and metallurgy technology in China and has made great achievements in uranium mining, radiation protection and environmental protection research.
