Abstract	China's Radio & TV Universities were established in 1979, after the model of the British Open University. Both of these two distance teaching universities were government initiated and state funded with strong personal support of an influential government leader. However, the practices of distance education between China's Radio & TV Universities and the British Open University are so different that they not only confuse the westem distance educators but also their Chinese counterparts as well. Why do these two distance teaching systems share the same notion of distance education but practice it so differently? This monograph will be an attempt to look for an answer to that question. Comparative analysis will be made of the origin, development and activities of these two distance education systems.... Examination will be made of the development the nature and the role of higher education system in each specific context so that the major factors which help shape the general patterns of these two distance higher education systems will be clarified.
