Q: Why the gender discrimination in Chinese universities?
I read that guys now have it easier to get into Chinese universities, and that with lower grades than their female counterparts, they'd get in. This is supposedly to balance the majority of Chinese university students now being girls.
My question: why? why exactly does it need to be 50/50? Why not just accept the smartest people, irrespective of sex?

Really??? It is something new information for myself..will ask my Chinese Colleagues and get back to you
I studied here and graduated from a Chinese university and i did not notice that issue that you are talking about.
If you did really notice that then i guess maybe it depends on the area you live in cause different places have different values and so on.
P.S: I studied in guangzhou
Well, this is what i have noticed:
-Normal (teaching) Universities: Seem like girls schools, vast majority of students are female.
-Technical/Science universities, mostly male.
-Regular run of the mill universities depends on the major. Science/engineering are mostly male, humanities and language are mostly female.
Police/Military universities, much more male than female, but there are quite a few females enrolled. At least more than in the science/engineering ones.
Dunno, but there are similar programs and policies worldwide in universities and workplaces if you replace the word gender with race.
