Chow Man-kong is a Hong Kong economist and politician. He was elected as a member of Legislative Council in the Election Committee constituency representing the pro-Beijing labour union FLU.[1]
Born in colonial Hong Kong, Chow had held positions in pro-Beijing organisations.[2] Chow was the special advisor to the Central Policy Unit of the Hong Kong Government and a member of the Hebei provincial committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.[3][4] He ran in the 2021 Legislative Council election and was elected through the Election Committee constituency.[5]
On 5 January 2022, Carrie Lam announced new warnings and restrictions against social gathering due to potential COVID-19 outbreaks.[6] One day later, it was discovered that Chow attended a birthday party hosted by Witman Hung Wai-man, with 222 guests.[7][8][9] At least one guest tested positive with COVID-19, causing many guests to be quarantined.[9]
In September 2022, Chow tested positive for COVID-19.[10]
