Soochow University refers to two distinct universities: one located in Suzhou, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China, and the other in Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of China). Though both universities share the same English name, they are named differently in Chinese. The original Soochow University and the university currently in Taiwan are named Dongwu Daxue (東吳大學), after the general region in which Suzhou is located. The university in the PRC is named Suzhou Daxue (苏州大学) after the city of Suzhou.
