- Singapore reaps the benefits of investment and internationalization: while other systems across the continent strive to emulate it, Singapore reigns supreme.

- Hong Kong's top three universities drop one place each, whilst the next four down rise and there is even a new entry. The performance of the Special Administrative Region in the ranking has not (yet) been affected by the protracted civil unrest.
