However, since 1952, Qinghua University has been under the strictest party control of all China’s universities because of its close ties to the top echelon of the Communist Party.
Today, Qinghua embraces a robust “loyalty to the party” mission, with more than 55 percent of its faculty and staff belonging to the ruling Chinese Communist Party. It is renowned for having many of its alumni inside the Politburo and other high places in China, including President Hu Jintao, who gave a chest-pumping speech to stress the importance of training technical experts with total loyalty to the Communist Party for the coming decades.
