OPINION: Taiwanese Universities Should Treat Campus Assaults as Potential Hate Crimes

Campus assault on Hong Kong students is becoming a pattern in Taiwan.

A Hong Kong student was physically assaulted by a Chinese student studying at I-shou University (義守大學) in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on September 13. Yet another fight broke out a week later between Hong Kong and Chinese students at a Taipei university due to clashes over a “Lennon Wall” in support of the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.

At I-shou University, a Chinese student attempted to choke a Hong Kong student for setting up a small Lennon Wall on the door of his dorm room. In the more recent assault in Taipei, a Hong Kong student was injured and sought out medical attention on his own, according to Liberty Times.
