In November 2019, #HongKong was shocked by how the unscrupulous police stormed a university campus with teargas and bullets. News of the the attack on #CUHK did not only shake the entire city, but also brought back traumatic memories of #TiananmenMassacre, how 30 years ago, armed soldiers gunned down students fighting for #democracy. According to a phone-in programme on 881903 after the #DistrictCouncil election later in the same month, many first time voters cast their ballots against the pro-#Beijing councillors because they were astounded by the CUHK, and later #PolyU siege.

Hong Kong’s traditional bottom-up civil society model poses particular concern, and CCP is keen to pull it up by the roots - by restricting ideas exchange on campuses.

All hints of Hong Kong’s activism, like the student unions and protest slogans, are under threat from the CCP to be swept away forever. // #diplomat #hongkong #students #studentunion #ccp #china #university
