On Feb. 20, the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) held a patriotic event at the New Asia College Plaza. During the program, the university organized a performance with artificial intelligence to show its loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party and stirred controversy in the education and academic industry.

Using artificial intelligence, holographic projection, and audio video, the university reproduced images of Ch'ien Mu, the anti-communist founder of the New Asia College of CUHK, to promote national education and patriotism.
