Chinese University students wear masks and chant Hong Kong protest slogans during national anthem at graduation, forcing ceremony to be cut short

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.

The presentation of teaching and research awards as well as professorship installation was skipped as a result of ending the ceremony.

At around 9.30am before the ceremony began, a man, who claimed to be a student from mainland China, waved a knife at a group of more than 300 students chanting slogans outside the venue of the congregation while he sang the Chinese national anthem.

They must have learned the ill- mannered traits from the MU student.
