The debate on the marketization of discourse in higher education has sparked and sustained interest among researchers in discourse and education studies across a diversity of contexts. While most research in this line has focused on marketized discourses such as advertisements, little attention has been paid to promotional discourse in public institutions such as the  About us  texts on Chinese university websites. The goal of the present study is twofold: first, to describe the generic features of the university  About us  texts in China; and second, to analyze how promotional discourse is interdiscursively incorporated in the discourse by referring to the broader socio-political context. Findings have indicated five main moves:  giving an overview, stressing historical status, displaying strengths, pledging political and ideological allegiance , and  communicating goals and visions . Move 3,  displaying strengths , has the greatest amount of information and can be further divided into six sub-moves which presents information on  campus facilities, faculty team, talent cultivation, disciplinary fields construction, academic research , and  international exchange . The main linguistic and rhetorical strategies used in these moves are analyzed and discussed.
