University of Hong Kong President Zhang Xiang, who previously announced he would step down after his contract expires in 2028, stated that reports suggesting he is seeking a third term are "completely and absolutely false," emphasizing that he has not discussed the matter with the Council Chairman over the past few months. In an exclusive interview with the Hong Kong Economic Journal, Zhang Xiang stated that the university has recruited hundreds of top talents from around the world over the past few years, including Nobel laureates, Fields Medalists, and members of various national academies, as well as full professors and scholars from prestigious universities such as Stanford, Harvard, MIT, and Princeton. Zhang Xiang said that the number of world-class top scholars at HKU, who are in the top 0.1% globally, has increased from 15 when he took office to 54. Zhang Xiang does not believe that place of birth should be the sole criterion for measuring an international university, arguing that an international university should look globally while also contributing to Hong Kong and the country. Zhang Xiang expressed his hope that Hong Kong needs to "maintain its internationalization," believing this is very important and the top priority.
