I'd like to open this subject up for discussion.
Chinese Wikiversity is the largest test within Beta Wikiversity, with 722 pages (as of today). While the numbers aren't directly comparable, that number is higher than the number of pages in each of the smallest seven independent Wikiversity projects. Additionally, the interface translation is effectively complete in both zh-hans and zh-hant.
Where there is a question here is on community activity. The truth is that LangCom should have approved this project around the end of 2014. From late 2012 through the end of 2014, this test project met the activity requirement just about every single month. From then until late in 2017, activity was consistent, but not quite as high, with most months not quite seeing enough activity for approval.
Since late 2017, there has been a great deal of activity, most of which comes from anonymous users. Now, I understand that we normally don't count in "anonymous" when looking for regular activity. But given the magnitude of the activity, the past periods of activity, the fact that even without the anonymous contributions there is almost enough activity to allow approval—and most of all, the confounding factor of the Great Firewall—I'm actually inclined to consider approving this.
Please share your thoughts.

While I can't read/understand zh (and thus cannot say anything about the *quality* of the pages), I follow your argument. So at this stage, I'd be fine with approval.

Can we do something to make people register? Seeing the really high number of edits made by anonymous users at < https://tools.wmflabs.org/meta/catanalysis/index.php?cat=1&title=ZH&..., that would also be beneficial when it comes to selecting admins etc. which we would want the local community to do. User:Javarobot (not a bot) is continuously active for some months already, but e.g. User:Assoc is meanwhile globally locked.
