The difference between a lecture professor and a professor in Hong Kong

The difference between these two titles is that the professor chairman in Hong Kong is a special title and the professor is a universal title.

Professor chair is a special title of professor, usually held by a professor with outstanding achievements and prestige in a certain subject field. The word "chairman" can be translated as "lecture" or "distinguished guest", which means that the professor has a leading position and important influence in this discipline. The position of "Professor Chair" is equivalent to that of "Lecture Professor" or "distinguished professor" in other countries or regions, and it is a senior professor position.

The term "professor" refers to a scholar who is responsible for teaching and research in higher education institutions. In Hong Kong, "professor" is a general term, usually held by a teacher with rich experience and outstanding achievements in a certain subject. "Professor" is a common title, which is equivalent to "professor" in other countries and regions.
