‘HKU president unfit as academician’
‘INAPPROPRIATE’: Academia Sinica members said the institution should revoke Zhang Xiang’s title, as he took a lead in suppressing his students in Hong Kong
By Yang Yuan-ting / Staff reporter
Several Academia Sinica members yesterday urged the institution’s president, James Liao (廖俊智), to revoke University of Hong Kong (HKU) president Zhang Xiang’s (張翔) title of academician because of his support of Chinese suppression in the territory.
Some HKU graduates made the appeal in a letter to Liao on Tuesday last week, and their call was echoed by members of Academia Sinica’s Liberty Society.
Zhang, a Chinese-American materials scientist, could be described as an executor of Beijing’s violence in Hong Kong, Wu Rwei-ren (吳叡人), an associate research fellow at Academia Sinica’s Institute of Taiwan History, told a news conference in Taipei.
