Summary: The secret surveillance and censorship of professors at schools through student informants are back in the tertiary institutions in China. Just like Mao made use of students to suppress and eliminate intellectuals who might post threats to his dictatorship, Xi resurrects the same system to censor anybody who is against his ideology and policies.

(03 Nov)The absurd white terror is the most unacceptable thing in China. Who would like this in the Education system of Hong Kong?

Hong Kong social worker got immediate termination by a China University, following by her criticism against China’s system in Wechat

(9 Feb)According to China Digital Times, an overseas Chinese online media, CHOW Pui-Yee was a Hong Kong registered social worker and a lecturer of a senior social worker practical program in the University of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (UCASS). From an announcement by the UCASS on 7 Feb, CHOW gave some inappropriate speech in Wechat on 6 Feb and it was reported by a student. The university’s investigation concluded that CHOW’s expression had contravened the first standard of the 10 Code of Conducts for Modern Tertiary Education Teachers, and influenced students badly. As a result, CHOW’s contract was terminated immediately.

Screenshots seems to be CHOW’s words criticizing China’s system and shared in Wechat were spreaded by netizens - “attending psychological courses is useless to resolve the social problems created from the totalitarian system; the deaths from injustice would be memorized by everyone developing detestation in their mind; positive energy is extinct from my head; please disconnect with me, all the pro-Communist Party youths”.

Some comments spreading “patriotic thoughts” were found responding to CHOW’s words, by whom believed to be CHOW’s students. “Get away!” – that was the only comment by CHOW after. Other words exposed including “Carrie LAM is in mentally illness” and “totally unexpecting the United Nations would today become part of the Communist Party”. Having said that, no evidence confirmed the above was indeed that CHOW’s speech.

CHOW had served the handicapped underprivileged group for 10 years in Hong Kong after her graduation from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. In 2002 she knew her boyfriend in Beijing and they got married in 2005. She then resides in Beijing with 2 children.

Comments by China Netizens:
- Cultural Revolution returns
- Criminalizing speech! She said the correct words!
- Zero-tolerance to criticism?
- Terrible, criminalizing speech, next to encourage students to denounce teachers?
- A teacher with justice
