Biography (archive)
Alexander Wai Ping-kong (Chinese: 衞炳江) is a former Deputy President and Provost of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, who served from 1 March 2020.[2] He had served the Hong Kong Polytechnic University for over 20 years since 1996.[3] He assumed the position of President and Vice-Chancellor of the Hong Kong Baptist University on 1 February 2021.[3][4]
In late July 2021, at his first press conference since taking up his position at Baptist University and slightly over a year after the enactment of the Hong Kong National Security Law, Wai said that the university had no plans to limit research on areas such as Hong Kong independence and human rights abuses in Xinjiang; management would not advocate their colleagues breaking the law, however. At the same time, Baptist University together with at least two other public universities in Hong Kong introduced mandatory undergraduate education on national security in the form of seminars and talks.[5]
