About

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is a prominent research university in Hong Kong. It has recently been the subject of several news articles. One article reports the suspension of a CUHK business school professor arrested in Australia for allegedly posing as a schoolboy to photograph students. Another article highlights a CUHK study, conducted with the Mental Health Association NGO, which found a significant increase in depression rates among Hong Kong adults, particularly Generation Z, linking it to excessive screen time and chatbot use. Finally, CUHK expelled a politics student who called for accountability regarding a deadly fire, leading to his detention by national security police for alleged "seditious intent." These events highlight CUHK's involvement in both academic research and its handling of controversial student activities within the context of Hong Kong's evolving political landscape.
