Vaiśeṣika is also mentioned in the oriental philosophy courses offered in modern Chinese universities, with some courses focussing on the study of classic texts of the Vaisheshika school and others aiming to give an account of the evolution of the school and its basic theories. Among the scholars studying oriental culture in contemporary China, the Vaiśeṣika theories remain a familiar topic. Besides, in some professional conferences or symposiums held in China, the theories of the school or papers published on the school were also discussed with great interest.
