About
Huaqiao University (HQU) is a public university in Xiamen and Quanzhou, Fujian, China. It is directly under the United Front Work Department of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Huaqiao University was founded in 1960, with support from the late Chinese premier and historical figure Zhou Enlai, for students of overseas Chinese backgrounds (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore) to pursue tertiary education in their ancestral homelands. The university has two campuses in the cities of Xiamen and Quanzhou, known for their large numbers of overseas Chinese students who have roots in these cities.
