So a 2007 photo of an Indonesian travel blogger with two Papuans is being used in #Chinese social media to smear the the former president of Shandong University, Fan Liming as being, apparently, too "keen to accept black students"

Social media is wild.

La police de #HongKong a saisi le « Pillar of Shame » (pilier de la honte), une statue érigée à l'université de Hong Kong pour commémorer la répression de Tiananmen en 1989.
La statue avait été déboulonnée en décembre 2021 et remisée dans un coin discret.

We participated in the 7th annual #Engineering InnoShow organized by the #innoacademy #hku on November 30, 2022! We introduced our approaches for using #AR, #VR and #machinelearning in the studying and #teaching of #archaeology. It was amazing to have the chance to discuss and share our experiences with other participants and visitors!

謝謝您的到訪！

我們參加了#innoacademy #hku 於 2022 年 11 月 30 日舉辦的第七屆年度#工程創新展！ 我們介紹了我們在#考古學的研究和教學中使用 #AR、#VR 和#機器學習 的應用。 與其他參與者和訪客討論和分享我們的經驗非常有趣！

This recent article from #HKU #CETL features our collaboration with the #HKU #University @Libraries. With their support, our course was delivered in #VR so that students could visit ancient sites virtually.

🌳A study led by geographers from #HKU and @IndianaUniv@twitter.com reveals that old-growth trees are more tolerant to drought stress than younger canopy trees and could better buffer extreme climate. More at https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-022-01528-w

@phoebe_kongwy R to @phoebe_kongwy: A mainland Chinese student rallies Hongkongers for support, saying #HongKong also wants to relax its immigration restrictions to '0+0'. He said he's also worried about being smeared by pro-Beijing propaganda. (English speech from 1'00 on) #zerocovid #hku https://nitter.hongkongers.net/phoebe_kongwy/status/1597582850458812416#m

I hear some Hongkongers are apparently mocking these mainland activists online.

This is THE moment for Hongkongers to stand in solidarity with mainlanders. The kind of localists who are still peddling Sinophobia needs to go fuck off and stay in the dustbin of history.

#HKU Chinese students held flowers and leaflets to commemorate victims in #UrumqiFire in campus. Police came and recorded their identities.
