    I fondly remember Chinese University of #HongKong (#CUHK) as a wonderful place to conduct research with a beautiful, peaceful campus... So what on earth is happening there today, and why? If a campus isn't a safe place for students, what's left? #HongKongProtest #香港中文大學

    “Having seen what’s happening in #HongKong, I get it: the so-called 1 country, 2 systems is a Communist lie. I hope #Taiwan doesn’t end up sharing the same fate, with my children having to take to the streets 20 yrs from now to oppose the Communist Party.”
    China’s efforts to isolate President Tsai Ing-wen’s administration and to punish Taiwan economically failed to deliver the desired outcome.

    Exactly! Beyond the bizarre, gratuitous disrespect for a doctoral degree holder & her commendable devotion to community college students + a completely irrelevant diatribe on honorary degrees... ...why refer condescendingly to any adult of any educational attainment as "kiddo"?
