Today, Zhejiang is ranked first on that list, the Leiden Rankings, from the Centre for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands. Seven other Chinese schools are in the top 10.
Rafael Reif, a former president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said on a podcast last year that “the number of papers and the quality of the papers coming from China are outstanding” and are “dwarfing what we’re doing in the U.S.”
The number of international students arriving in the U.S. in August 2025 was 19 percent lower than the year before, a trend that could further hurt the prestige and rankings of American schools if the world’s best minds choose to study and work elsewhere.

Are the posts false?

If you compare titles and actual content of the articels they're purposely misleading to influence opinion.

There are at least two others that do just the opposite, but I've not seen you condemning them, nor calling their content "misleading". Maybe you just don't enjoy reading anything outside your own personal bubble?

If you see them condem them. I'm not a judge and neither are you.

I'm not surprised the US is slipping, Trump has slashed education, and driven foreign students away. Who wants to study in a fascist kleptocracy where the educational stalwarts all kowtow to the regime.
