Tamil language education in china began in 1959 and has been continuously developing for more than 60 years. The exchange between the two sides has expanded as the Chinese learn tamil, and Chinese students have the opportunity to explore tamil culture. The first tamil class was held at the beijing Broadcasting Institute in 1959. The college taught tamil to eight Chinese students for the then-Central Broadcasting Bureau of China's tamil radio programme.

He was the first tamil to teach Chinese people Tamil. Kandasamy. "We commonly refer to Kandasamy, a bearded moustache master, as a teacher. He double-checked the accuracy of our translation and pronunciation. "Chinese tamil education and radio tamil broadcasting could not have started correctly without the guidance of teacher Kandasamy," sun Kuochiang, a student at the time, claimed.

The college was renamed the china Communication university in 2006. Twelve students chose tamil as their elective study in the academic year 2007. Following that, there was a long pause in the teaching of tamil in China. In 2017, the Yunnan Minzu university (Yunnan Minzu University) South Asian and Southeast Asian Languages - Cultural school established the Department of tamil, where six students began to study tamil as an optional subject.

According to the tamil Department, students are not admitted on an annual basis, as is the situation in tamil Nadu. The following batch of students is admitted once a batch of students graduates from the tamil Department of Chinese Universities. The first university in china to teach tamil, beijing university of Communication, relaunched the tamil language course in 2020 and engaged a Chinese who spoke tamil as a teacher.
