The operating security minister of Hong Kong confirmed that the city’s authorities had made 25 arrests in the last three years as they had been claiming they had used forged academic credentials to enroll in nearby universities.
According to Acting Secretary of Security Michael Cheuk Hau-yip in the Legislative Council on Wednesday ( Dec. 18 ), police have also identified 14 “unscrupulous” mainland Chinese organizations or intermediaries that are suspected of being involved in the crimes and have contacted Chinese authorities.
Cheuk was responding to a problem from Hong Kong’s senator Chan Wing-kwong, who requested a list of how many people lied about applying for study in Hong Kong.
Chan cited instances of “unscrupulous and unlawful middlemen” in mainland China soliciting businesses by” spreading rumours” about Hong Kong’s several skill registration schemes, even “going as far as concealing educational qualifications”.
