A group of Hong Kong students are raising money online to run full-page adverts opposing the “mainlandisation of HK universities”, according to their Facebook page.
The campaign comes just over a year after the Apple Daily ran a full-page advert attacking mainland “locusts” for swarming the city and draining its resources. The HK$100,000 advert was paid for by members of the HKGolden forum.
The group’s demands include:
- Decreasing the number of mainland [students] at all levels
- Restrict the ability of mainland graduates to work in Hong Kong
- Sponsor more local students
- Nurture local scholars; promote local research
- Examine the recruiting method of self-sponsored graduate students
- Find out whether the percentage of mainland teachers and staff is too high
