Regarding with the Chinese language skills, Chinese universities have different requirements for different programs.

Generally speaking, English-taught programs and non-degree language and culture programs usually don’t require any Chinese language skills or any HSKexam results. And also, nondegree language and culture programs have the least requirements; if you have obtained a high school diploma, you can apply for admission.

However, if you apply for English taught programs, your results of TOEFL or IELTS or other equally recognized English proficiency tests results will be required. (You don’t need to provide the above results if you are an English native speaker or you have an academic degree taught in English).

And if you apply for degree courses taught in Chinese, you need to provide HSK examination results to prove your Chinese language proficiency. As for master's degree, a copy of transcripts and recommendation letters are also required.

It is true that more and more courses can be taught in English in many universities in China, and Chinese Language Skills or HSK results is not compulsory for applying those courses. As many Chinese Universities give more and more courses taught in English, Chinese Language Skills or HSK results is not compulsory for applying those courses.
