I can't say where I am gives me a good view of what's going 
on in China, but with the growing budget is also a growing 
population.  I think it's very competitive for PhD spots.
But I think the days of having a "Publications" header are 
gone...  Such a section is broken down into journals, 
invited talks, non-peer reviewed work, posters, etc.  Those 
that read the CVs and grant reviews have caught on, as well 
and know that filling all the sections will allow the 
applicant to "get it out of their system"; but the section 
headers also allow them to ignore a set of publications easily.
And they may also ask for impact factors and I recall in one 
case, they wanted the list of authors to be amended with 
percentage of contribution of each author.  (Of course, 
there was no obligation to have the other co-authors verify 
what was put down...hmmmmm, how can someone do 99.9%?  :-P )
