More and more Hong Kong students have decided to study at mainland universities mainly for opportunities, with some of them saying mainland universities could provide a more suitable and peaceful environment for them to focus on studies and a more diverse cultural and educational experience.

Ashley Tse Hiu Hung, 29, chairwoman of the Hong Kong Youth Enlightenment, who is also a doctoral candidate at the School of Public Policy and Management of Tsinghua University, told the Global Times on Wednesday that studying in the mainland, especially in Beijing, will broaden her outlook and vision, since staying in Hong Kong would limit her perspectives.

"Hong Kong is a city which implements the 'one country, two systems??principle, so studying in the mainland could help Hong Kong students better understand the 'one country,??the country's policies and remarkable development, and then we can learn how to find a place for Hong Kong in this historic trend,??Tse noted.

Calvin Chan, another Hong Kong student who studied at Peking University, said at Hong Kong universities, "we only get to know students with very similar backgrounds and opinions. But in mainland cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, we can make friends with so many talented and hardworking mainland students with diverse backgrounds and points of view. It's just like opening a new world for students like me, and it is truly valuable.??o:p>

Data released by the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange (Hong Kong) in April, a subsidiary of the

, showed that in 2019, 10,433 Hong Kong students signed up to take the entrance exams of mainland universities, and the students who signed up for Hong Kong college entrance exams dropped by more than 2,800.

At the same time, Hong Kong students who applied for test-free enrollment at mainland universities increased 9.2 percent, the highest since the policy was implemented in 2012.

Gong Wan, director general of the service center, told the Xinhua News Agency more Hong Kong students have decided to study in the mainland not only because of the development and improvement of mainland universities, but also because more of them are optimistic about the country's development.

The 21st Century Business Herald said on Tuesday many Hong Kong students who decided to study and work in mainland cities like Shenzhen, which is also a fast growing international city bordering Hong Kong, believe that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area strategy is a golden opportunity, and if they study and intern in both Hong Kong and the mainland, it would give them an edge.
LOL now noticed the emoji in the end of the 4th paragraph; there's
"question mark" "question mark" "o" "colon" "bigger than symbol"
in the article there

This is very upsetting, a new LOW in Hong Kong. A bunch of rioters surrounded a man with THREE little (frighten) children, and started to chant "go back to mainland 大陸" (presumably he is from the mainland, although he did try and sing natuonal athem in cantonese to try and drown out the sound. it just awful!

If I had been there, I would have lashed out. This reminds me of the cultrual revolution, where students ran amok in China.

I've come to a conclusion, that these thugs are beyond help, and quicker China set up camps of the Guantanomo bay variety in the middle of the Gobi the better it is for everyone. (can't believe I'm advocating this)!

As a father, it absolutely enrages me seeing this!

Does Hong Kong allow guns? If I were a HK parent right now, I would not leave the house without a gun!

Fantastic news, Chinese people in China raise enough money to buy all these mooncakes and shipped it to Hong Kong personally as a gesture of thanks to the hard working police.

A very nice and welcoming touch. Big thanks to our compatriots in China! Happy mid autumn festival to all Chinese around the world!

No guns allowed. In fact, no gun powder allowed thanks to our previous master, the British empire! they outlaw all gun powder ever since the "demonstration" that was brutaly put diwn in 1967.

I was a kid then and was extremely disappointed that during Chinese new year. There was complete silence!

For those that's not Chinese, during Chinese new year, there's lots of noise as fire crackers are set off to ward off evil spirits. And that year was the quitest I have ever experienced. A Chinese new year without fire crackers is like Christmas without Santa!

No, they don't allow guns. Even the police have to have a special rank to carry a gun. Nowhere in China can you carry a gun, and that's the wisdom of the CCP. If everyone had 2 handguns and an automatic like in Texas, can you imagine what Hong Kong would look like now? It would actually look like a war-torn African country.

Beijing has nothing to do with HK's gun policies, and considering how cowardly those rioters are, they would never dare accost people who might be armed.

A police force in a society that allows guns is also more trigger happy, so there would be none of that coddling of rioters that's going on right now.
