The Vietnamese Consulate General provided a means to transport 5 Vietnamese students at Trung Van University in Hong Kong to the airport in the morning of November 16.

According to VNA, the move took place in the context of the leadership of Trung Van Hong Kong University announcing the end of the first semester of the 2019-2020 school year, allowing students to leave and return to the school to start the second semester from the 6th. / 1/2020 to ensure safety.

Many protesters were entrenched in university dormitories in Hong Kong, including Chinese University of China, and archery and arrows and petrol bombs at the police this weekend. A police officer was hit by the arrow in the leg and was hospitalized this afternoon.

Hong Kong security forces responded by tornado and tear gas to disperse the protesters.

Some universities in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region also announced the early end of the first semester of the 2019-2020 school year for undergraduate, postgraduate or switch to online teaching.

There are currently about 180,000 foreign students studying in Hong Kong schools, of which Vietnam has about 50 undergraduate and graduate students. Vietnamese students come to Hong Kong mainly through the recommendation of the school or third organizations in Vietnam, according to VNA.

Demonstrations in Hong Kong erupted in early June to protest the extradition bill that allows criminals to be sent to jurisdictions where the Special Zone has not signed an extradition treaty, including mainland China. The special zone authorities announced the withdrawal of the bill, but protesters still took to the streets with other claims, including a police investigation request and police chief Carrie Lam to resign.

Authorities have warned the violence has reached very dangerous levels, which could even be deadly. 64 people were injured, two in critical condition after the clash on November 13. Chief Executive Carrie Lam called protesters paralyzing Hong Kong "selfishers" and "enemies of the people".
