The term Qinghua (Tsinghua) clique refers to a group of Communist Chinese politicians that have graduated from Tsinghua University (Chinese: 清华大学; pinyin: Qīnghuá Dàxué). They are members of the fourth generation of Chinese leadership, and are purported to hold hesitantly pro-democratic or reformist ideas (a number have studied in the United States following graduation from Tsinghua, and some are said to be influenced by the reform ideals of Hu Yaobang). In the PRC, their ascendance to power is likely to begin in 2008 at the 17th National Congress of the CPC.
