Question

The South University of ST of China tries to establish ( )it calls “China‘s first independent …
university,which caused a heated discussion.为什么填what不是where

Answer 1

表示“所谓的”的短语（见有道词典）：
1、so-called
2、alleged
3、what is called
4、socalled
虽然题目里有地名,但是主句是说“XX university tries to establish sth.“ 与地理位置无关
what it calls 表示”所谓的“,是 what is called 的变形；
后面那个which caused a heated discussion表示”主句的内容“引发了广泛讨论,主句的内容是“XX university tries to establish sth.“,“ XX大学准备将自己建立成一个XX样的大学”.
