The 5th International Chinese Proficiency Competition was successfully held at Xiamen University Malaysia on 28 October 2023.

Jointly organised by HSK Centre (Crestar) and Department of Chinese, Xiamen University Malaysia, the competition was held simultaneously in Singapore and Malaysia, attracting Chinese language learners from different countries and regions to participate. As the test centre for the competition in Kuala Lumpur, XMUM accommodated a total of 200 participants, including 65 secondary school students and 135 adults.

During the competition, all the participants need to take part in a language proficiency test that included listening, reading and writing. After the test, they will receive an HSK Level VI Result Report issued by Hanban, as well as an HSK Level VI Global Result Analysis Report issued by Chinese Testing International Co.,Ltd., Beijing.

Ms. Lee She Yun, Event Co-ordinator from XMUM Department of Chinese, said:
"XMUM Department of Chinese is committed to promoting Chinese language education and Chinese culture. Through this competition, we provide a platform for Chinese language learners from different cultural backgrounds to demonstrate their abilities, at the same time facilitating cross-cultural communication and understanding, as well as the development of Chinese language education in Malaysia.

"XMUM became one of the test centres for HSK in 2018. We are convinced that such an event will enable more people to understand the role that XMUM plays in international Chinese language promotion, arousing their interest in Chinese language learning, and contribute to the dissemination of Chinese language."

Since its establishment, Department of Chinese, Xiamen University Malaysia has been actively involved in the promotion of Chinese language and culture. By organising cultural exchange activities, mandarin class and Chinese language proficiency competitions, it aims to build a bridge for culture exchange and enrich Malaysia's culture diversity.
