Robert Chow

Robert Chow Yung (Chinese: 周融; Sidney Lau: Jau1 Yung4; born 22 April 1950)[1][2] BBS[3] is a Hong Kong journalist and media personality who is a former RTHK radio host.

[12] In July 2014, Chow, as the Spokesperson of the Alliance for Peace and Democracy, was accused of offering people free meals and other treats in an attempt to boost the turnout of the Anti-Occupy Central Parade.

[1][16] He initially stated that it was not possible to voluntarily renounce the right of abode, acquired in the 1990s as part of the British Nationality Selection Scheme,[17] but later backtracked, saying that he was working with a lawyer to abandon it.

[18] In September 2014, Chow announced that his organisation had set up a telephone hotline for informants to report the names of schools permitting students to be absent from class during the Occupy Central protests.

It was widely condemned by the public of Hong Kong and portrayed as white terror, a persecution tactic similar to those employed by the Kuomintang in Taiwan, including asking people to betray their close friends or family members.
