In plain words
If you want to use the diploma after returning to China to take the civil service exam, join a state-owned company, get a household registration (落户) or apply for a professional title, it first has to go through authentication. The authentication is done by the Study Abroad Service Center of the Ministry of Education (教育部留学服务中心, 留服中心). If the school isn't on the list of schools that can be authenticated, the tuition and time are wasted, and the diploma can't be used in China. Checking the list is free. Check it first, then pay tuition.
