Recently, Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (MOFCOM) and six other departments jointly announced the list of featured service export bases in the professional category, and Huaqiao University (HQU) was approved as a national featured service export base in language services. Only two universities in China were approved as service export bases in this field.

As a university with the aim of “serving overseas Chinese and spreading Chinese culture”, HQU has long taken the export of language services as an effective carrier to develop Chinese language education and promote Chinese culture, forming the language services export work featured by “teaching Chinese characters with language, and advancing Chinese characters with language”, “understanding Chinese characters in language and using Chinese characters to unite the mind” and “empowering language with artificial intelligence” and has built a language service export work patterned with a complete system, rich resources and remarkable results. So far, HQU has been approved as a national base of Chinese language education, a national base of language and Chinese characters promotion, a key institution for teaching Chinese in neighboring countries supported by Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China (MOE), and an MOE base of preparatory education for overseas students.
