With the fast development of higher education over the world, most countries, including the developed countries, have become given highlighting to the efficiency and effectiveness of public funding. Universities have been required to pay much more attention to performance and accountability.The significant growth of higher education in China would benefit the country in long term, but it has brought a lot of problems, such as the difficulties to guarantee the education quality and government funding.Using the statistical data from 1985 to 2004, two sets, which are 'Higher Education Development' and 'Government Funding', are constructed to analyze Chinese higher education development and the public funding needs. The universities' cost control is also discussed. Based on the two aspects above, several countermeasures are analyzed, and performance funding seems to be the best of them.As the trend of international higher education funding, performance funding would be effective to resolve the problem of efficiency and accountability in universities. So that the funding burden of the higher education would be lightened. The principles and procedure of performance indicators making are explored. The performance funding system should be dynamic to insure the goal of the system. Finally, some countermeasures are posited on the basis of analysis above.
