The term '''Qinghua (Tsinghua) clique''' refers to a group of [[Politics of the People's Republic of China|Communist Chinese]] politicians that have graduated from [[Tsinghua University]] ({{zh|s=清华大学|p=[[Tsinghua|Qīnghuá]] Dàxué}}). They are members of the [[fourth generation of Chinese leadership]], and are purported to hold hesitantly pro-[[democracy|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 [[Communist Party of China|CPC]].

Tsinghua graduates who have political prominence are disproportionately greater in number than graduates of other famous universities. Among the nine standing committees at the [[Politburo of the Communist Party of China|Politburo]], there are four Tsinghua graduates; among the 24 Politburo committee members, there are five; and of all the "[[leaders of the party and the country]]", there are 10.

Key figures are reported to include:
*[[Hu Jintao]];
*[[Wu Bangguo]], although he is generally considered more loyal to Jiang Zemin's [[Shanghai clique]];
*[[Lin Wenyi]], chairman of the [[Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League]];
*[[Liu Yandong]]
*[[Xi Jinping]].

Retired or deceased:
*[[Zhou Guangzhao]];
*[[Zheng Tianxiang]];
*[[Luo Longji]];
*[[Fei Xiaotong]];
*[[Chien Wei-zang|Qian Weichang]];
*[[Peng Peiyun]];
*[[Kang Shien]];
*[[Wu Guanzheng]];
*[[Hu Qili]];
*[[Huang Ju]];
*[[Yao Yilin]];
*[[Song Ping]];
*[[Zhu Rongji]];
*[[Hu Qiaomu]];
*[[Li Ximing]];
*[[Wang Hanbin]].

The Tsinghua clique also referred to a group of [[Kuomintang|Nationalist Chinese]] politicians who held high power in the [[Republic of China]] government and fled to [[Taiwan]] with the government during the [[Chinese Civil War]]. All of them are deceased:
*[[Yeh Kung-chao]];
*[[Yu Guohua]];
*[[Yen Zhenxing]];
*[[Mei Yiqi]];
*[[Luo Jialun]];
*[[Hu Shi]]
*[[Sun Li-jen]].
