#CUHK, one of the best universities in #HongKong, has betrayed its students. At a time when #freespeech in #HK is being smothered everyday, instead of creating a #safespace for students to speak their minds and nurture their thoughts, the school has decided to silence them for fear. Shame.

Academic freedom in Hong Kong has taken a toll in the last few years but unfortunately it wont be trending up any time soon. Now seen as bad as some least developed, politically unstable or suppressed countries, it’s really mind boggling that we still have some of the best universities in the region. However, for how much longer?
It’s darkness out there.
It’s a sad development and quite hard to swallow as hkers. But we will one day rebuild the place we love to it’s prime.

Imagine receiving university education just so you can take the most hated and undignified job in #HongKong. We're thoroughly disgusted. Would universities in #Australia (and any other countries, for the matter) stop collaborating with the abusive #HKPolice AT ONCE?

Hungarians have clearly had enough! According to a liberal think thank, around two thirds of Hungarians oppose to building #FudanUniversity to suck up to #CCP at the expense of Hungarians' welfare. Despite the difficulties posed by COVID, thousands of people marched on the streets of Budapest to voice their discontent.

Loving the liberal opposition's comeback against #Orban's plan to kiss #China's a** - renaming the streets around the campus after #Uyghurs, #HongKong, #Tibet and a #Catholic bishop!

Yet another piece of news testifying to how #freedomofspeech is dead in #HongKong, even within the academia. #IvanChoy saw no point writing political commentaries anymore as there is no more room for different voices, as the government has become a puppet of #CCP, who is ruling #HK top-down with an iron fist.

The #StudentsUnion of the top #university in #HongKong, raided by the police over a statement of commemoration. Students are told they’re under investigation for “national security” charges. Students in their early 20s. #CarrieLam said “they’re not children anymore.”
-
On the other hand, #CarrieLam demanded the public stop going after the three officials who attended a lavish dinner when social gathering ban was in order, said their apology should suffice. No further investigations regarding #corruption will be taken. 🤷🏻

It is understood that almost ONE THIRD of the tuition fees of the #UniversityofGlasgow are from Chinese students. The school has yet to retract this partnership, but said that they are dedicated to upholding academic freedom. Really?! What about the freedoms of the #Uyghurs, #Kazahks and other ethnic minorities repressed by #CCP which controls your "academic partner" too? Are they naive or just hypocritical?

The hypocrisy of #CCP:
1) #Taliban are friends but university students are terrorists.
2) it took 24 hours to arrest and send these students to court, but 47 pro-democracy politicians and activists, arrested in Feb 2021, still haven’t been on trial.

F*** CCP.

#TiananmenMassacre remains one of #CCP's darkest sore spots, judging by how hard it tries to rewrite our memories. But whatever you do, you can't change history. What has happened can never be rewritten, the entire world remember and will make sure our next generation remember it too.

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
