A graduation ceremony at the Chinese University of Hong Kong was abruptly halted on Thursday after students wearing masks chanted slogans as the national anthem was being played.
“This is a celebratory occasion, particularly for our graduates, their family and their friends and guests,” he said. “On behalf of CUHK, I would like to express my deep regret for some of the compromises we have seen.” When asked by reporters why he was holding a knife, he put it down and said that he “wanted to protect himself, after seeing what happened at HKUST yesterday”.On Wednesday evening, at a dialogue forum hosted by the president of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Wei Shyy, chaos erupted when a student believed to be from the mainland pushed a Hong Kong student to the ground.
Some graduates did not nod or bow to Shyy, who was presiding over the ceremony, while others raised their hands - a symbol of the five demands.
