Opportunities，Challenges and Approach Choices for the Newly-built Local Universities in West China Face

In the popularization of higher education, the local universities are facing the good development opportunities brought by the combination of factors, i.e. importance attached to the higher education by our party and government, implementation of the west development, rapid development of the local economy, the growing demand for receiving the higher education, and achievements made by the higher education itself. Meanwhile, the newly-built local universities are meeting great challenges as the new international competition, the new requirement of the domestic development, the scientific development in the educational circle, people’s expectation and the self limitation of the local universities. Consequently, it is the good choice to orient the university’s development with the local advantage, to lay out the subjects with reference to the local development, to stress the university-running features and to train the innovative talents in accordance to the local needs.
