context_page_description: The World First Class University and First Class Academic Discipline Construction, combined together and known as Double First Class, is a tertiary education development initiative designed by the People's Republic of China government, in 2015, which aimed to comprehensively developing elite Chinese universities and their individual faculty departments into world-class institutions by the end of 2050.
  The full list of the sponsored universities and disciplines was published in September 2017, which includes 42 Double First Class Universities and 465 first class disciplines spread among 140 schools including the first class universities. According to the Academic Ranking of World Universities 2018/19 and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2019/20, most of the 42 double first class universities are considered as among the top 500 universities in the world and most of these 95 double first class disciplines universities are ranked among the top 1000 universities worldwide.
  It was unclear whether this plan represents a new way of ranking universities in China, or replaces Project 211, Project 985, or the C9 League.
