Cannot agree more. There're determinants of placement other than ranking or publication for mainland universities. Some are hired because they got a degree from US. Some for they're just not Chinese. Some HK phd got placed to school like NUS or NTU, better than many US phd, due to the productivity or connections.
Overall the placement of HK schools is not comparable with their research output (especially HKUST). I believe they didn't pay enough attention to their phd training. Or their (junior) faculty are not so helpful in working with PhD students. Yet the potential is there. Look at the placement of INSEAD. Why cannot HKUST aim at that?
I think it is difficult to judge by using one case. Some universities in China like to give offers to graduates from the USA. On the other hand, business PhD graduates in HK also got offers in the USA this year. The quality range of HK university graduates is huge. Some have A journal publications while some even have difficult getting B journal papers. -- by 会员 sm1 (2010/7/29 3:20:34)
