Hi, I would like some more information on Tsinghua University. Should we have to thank Temple University, Philadelphia?

Not right now, but yesterday I found there was some intercampus exchange. Maybe I've mistaken, or spelled the wrong way the University. Taiwan in the past, maybe?

There's a National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, but the Tsinghua University in the OP is in the People's Republic of China. Beijing and Tsinghua are often said to be the top universities in China.
