CUHK effectively grounded the newly elected student union cabinet for their remarks that “concern national security” and involve “unfounded accusations against the university”, by suspending union fee collection and demanding the SU to register as a social group or company. Image
Syzygia, the elected SU cabinet of #CUHK, will respond to the university’s statement at midnight.

Issac Lam, chair of the elected SU of #CUHK, said they are "extremely disappointed" by the university's decision to disown the cabinet.

"The university is not only stripping us of our positions, but also stripping over 4,000 students' affirmative votes," he said. Image

Chinese University of #HongKong (#CUHK) issues statement regarding the rumoured reorganization of the University Services Centre and its library "CUHK clarifies unfounded rumour," cpr.cuhk.edu.hk/en/press_detai… 中大澄清不實傳聞 cpr.cuhk.edu.hk/tc/press_detai… #香港 #中文大學
In 2005, The #China Journal published an article on the 40th anniversary of the USC's founding on its history & importance to the field of Chinese studies; Harvard University's Ezra Vogel, who sadly passed away last week, wrote the forward: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.2307/20…
Ezra Vogel noted that, in the still-heated turmoil of post-McCarthyism in the US, then MIT professor Lucian Pye, suggested that a centre for research & study on #China be set up in #HongKong, "a neutral ground amidst the US intellectual battles of the day." #香港 #中文大學

Today I'm going to try combining two things I often tweet about: tech and Cantonese. So, let's talk about parsing.

I'm currently studying Cantonese at #CUHK in #HongKong.
In English I would say: "My name is Nathan." The written representation maps 1:1 with the words spoken. For bonus points, the characters in each word themselves contain information about how they are pronounced. Put differently, serialization and deserialization are symmetric.
In Cantonese, using the Yale romanization, I would say out loud to somebody, "Ngóh ge méng haih Nathan." One possible written serialization of that is: "我嘅名係Nathan." Wait, what? One *possible* serialization!?

A research of 400 specimens from 14 #covid19 patients by #CUHK found that 3 of the 14 patients still had virus in their stool samples after their respiratory samples are all clear. The amount of virus in stool samples is comparable to those in deep throat saliva. Image
More from this research.
At this stage, CUHK's researchers have NOT tested whether the virus in the stool samples are dead fragments or living virus. if they are living virus or can breed living virus, they are infectious.
The researchers are suggesting to add stool sample test as a supplementary test to deep throat saliva test for patients who do not have sputum, for 1) among the samples examined, saliva samples had a 42% false negative rate and 2) stool samples are easier to collect.

4 masked intruders dressed in black set a fire at the printing press of the #HongKong edition of @EpochTimes in the early hours of Nov. 19, marking the 4th attack to the facility since its opening more than a decade ago. (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/masked-intrude…
The incident took place around 3:40AM, as the staff there were about to send off newly printed newspapers to the stands.

Moments after staff opened the factory door, 4 masked men walked into the facility and pointed batons towards the workers, shouting: “all of you don’t move!”
Surveillance footage shows 2 of the men dressed in all black carrying batons, while one of them holds newspapers, and another carries two containers containing a flammable liquid, which he poured onto the factory machines and newspapers.

Was an den Universitäten in #Hongkong gerade passiert, ist eine neue Stufe dieser Bewegung. Punkto Organisationsgrad und wohl vor allem punkto Militanz. Ein #Thread.
Seit gestern verschanzen sich Tausende Studierende in ihren Unis. Sie bauen Barrikaden, Fallen, Wachtürme – und sie bewaffnen sich.
Mit Pfeilbögen, meterhohen Feuer-Katapulten und tausenden Molotowcocktails. Für letztere haben die Studierenden regelrechte Produktionsstätten errichtet.

Audrey Eu SC, on behalf of #CUHK student union chief Jacky So seeking injunction to ban police entry, argues there’s no rioting WITHIN Uni precinct; there’s only evidence that #HongKongPolice entered the campus & students responded to “an invasion of their home & try to defend”
Eu: we’re not asking the court to condone violence & the legal conducts of rioters, nor trying to tie the police’s hands. We’re asking #HongKongPolice have to enforce the law in accordance to the law, no more no less #CUHK #HongKongProtests
Eu: there should only be 3 conditions for police to enter #CUHK, a private premise. 1) with a search warrant, 2) at the invitation of the owner, 3) section 50(4) of the #HongKongPolice Force Ordinance, which reads as below:

此刻在華盛頓,看見中大成為戰場的照片,極其心痛。雖然很多時候不在香港,依然在中大、港大、科大有客席副教授職務,我想說的是,我們不同立場的同事們,這時候應該共度時艱,用自己的方法幫助學生,方便的可以到現場,不方便的可以做擅長的工作,例如聯繫各自專業最有份量的國際權威聲援、...
....他們更懂得國際線,這是分工的時候,至於再向這樣的「政府」陳情,無異對牛彈琴,大可不必浪費時間。

究竟警察攻入了校園,又如何?代表勝利?可以畢業?可以取消別人的畢業?有甚麼合乎任何邏輯的解釋這是proportional的武力?為什麼不用同等武力清剿你們天天打交道的黑社會?...
...要是說公安條例下沒有手令都可以進入任何地方拘捕,何不每一座大廈都攻打一次搜捕,這和日軍清鄉有什麼分別?

這裏有一個病態的報復心態,釋放了人性最恐怖的一面,超齡的紅衛兵,享受著破壞文明的快感,這種視覺效果不一定能完全陳述的破壞,比物質的毀壞更有深遠歇斯底里的影響。....
