Peking University engagement report
@PKU1898 - 680K followers on X
Measured over 55 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 27 interactions against 680K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 55 original posts, its engagement rate beats 22% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 6.1K times each, and 0.44% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.902% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 55 posts sampled, 95% carry an image or video, 7% are part of a thread and 18% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 134 interactions, about 5.0x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #24solarterms, #pekinguniversity, #pku.

Compared with accounts its own size
Peking University's engagement rate beats 22% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 32% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.004%, Peking University sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,852 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 02:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Having visited the Xiaomi factory, which has reached 85% automation, students of the 2026 China Deep Dive program from America asked Prof. Zhang Ying during a PKU Masterclass: How does the industry balance automation and a better-off workforce? The answer? Retraining the workers. Would that be enough in the race against automation? "We don't know for sure."

A $1.50 haircut may sound like a small detail, but it can reveal a lot about the global economy. Wu Changqi (武常岐), Professor at Peking University's Guanghua School of Management, turns a haircut at PKU into a lesson on purchasing power parity during a PKU Masterclass. Speaking to American university students participating in the 2026 China Deep Dive program, Professor Wu explains why services tend to be cheaper in developing countries and how purchasing power affects the way we compare GDP across economies.

If Chengdu 成都 had colors, what would they be? ❤️ For students from U.S. universities on PKU's 2026 China Deep Dive, the answer came in four colors — RED for the spirit of Sichuan, GREEN for Chengdu's softer side, GOLD for thousands of years of civilization, and BLUE for rivers, bridges, and nature. From spicy and numbing flavors to pandas, ancient art, and laid-back city life, this is Chengdu through their eyes. Which color feels most like Chengdu to you?

From vineyards in the Chinese desert to slow brewed tea in Sichuan, US students on PKU's 2026 China Deep Dive experience China one drink at a time. They taste wines from Ningxia 宁夏, discover unexpected flavors like coffee and honey fermented rice, try their hand at traditional tea making, and slow down with a cup of hot tea in Chengdu 成都. Two places, two very different Chinese drinking cultures, and plenty of surprises along the way.

- What is Peking University's engagement rate on X?
- Peking University (@PKU1898) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 55 original posts from the last 30 days against 680,236 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.004%, Peking University sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,852 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @PKU1898 have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 22% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @PKU1898 post?
- Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.
