Words of an Absconder—No Evidence, Just Calculated Hype Over "Hong Kong Parliament" Stunt

2025-11-07 21:59 Last Updated At:22:00

Wong Chun-wah’s saga hit headlines again: On November 6, the Police National Security Department took away his mother in Mong Kok,  to assist with an ongoing investigation tied to his case. She was released from the police station at around 11 am.

Here’s the evidence: Wong, age 54, stands accused under Article 22 of the Hong Kong National Security Law—subversion of state power. Documents show he played a part in organizing and joining the so-called "Hong Kong Parliament" overseas alongside Elmer Yuen Gong-yi, Ho Leung-mo, and Chin Po-fan. The National Security Department put up a HK$200,000 bounty on his head July 25 and formally listed him as a "designated absconder" by August 4.

Wong claims he was a transport worker before skipping town December 8 last year. Police sources flag that back in 2019—the "black riots" period—Wong was deep on the front lines. Documents tie him to the so-called "renovation team," noted for illicit road blockades, shop break-ins, and petrol bomb hurling. When things heated up, he fled straight to Taiwan, dodging arrest.

Sabotage Masquerade

Early this year, Wong announced online that he was running in the sham "Hong Kong Parliament" election orchestrated by other designated absconders like Elmer Yuen. Once he claimed victory, he staged a loud "swearing-in" event—positioning himself as a faux "Hong Kong Parliament member." He made threats to "destroy the Communist Party," topple both the Central and Hong Kong Governments, and pushed for Hong Kong independence. His words and actions, captured in public posts, speak for themselves.

During this illegal stunt, Wong kept pushing for votes on social media. He spun a wild story: that he was tailed by "two mainlanders" in Taiwan and was assaulted. Let’s check the facts: Wong did not file a police report, there were no witnesses, no recordings, no medical records, and he simply "guessed" they were "mainland agents" based on clothing alone. The evidence is missing—his story falls apart on every front. Fabricating a "victim abroad" drama? It’s a cheap play for sympathy and anti-China sentiment, not an honest accounting.

Pattern of Extremism

Records show Wong’s criminal history stretches back to his teen years, with assault charges on file. With time, he got more radical—taking part in 2014’s Illegal "Occupy Central and the 2016 Mong Kok Riots, repeatedly crossing legal lines and undermining the rule of law. 

Instead of changing, Wong doubled down—moving from illegal street actions to outright membership in groups calling for Hong Kong independence and seeking to overthrow the state. That’s how he ended up on the wanted list, a direct result of ignoring the law and order that keeps society stable.

Police make it clear: "Committing acts with seditious intent" can land you up to 7 years behind bars—even on the first conviction. Supporting, funding, or aiding absconders similarly violates the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance and earns the same sentence. Authorities aren’t mincing words: the law will pursue those who flee, no matter how far.

Indoctrinated, Radicalized, Exposed

Experts say Wong’s extremism could be traced. Since his youth, he absorbed misguided views—joining everything from Illegal Occupy Central and the Mong Kok Riots to the 2019 anti-extradition chaos. Each step, he grew more reckless. Fleeing abroad, he went further, joining subversive outfits and fabricating persecution just to play the "spy movie hero" for a sham election. The National Security Department is clear: no matter how far absconders run, they’ll be pursued. They urge absconders to return and surrender, sparing their families further pain.

Hong Kong police recently searched several bookstores under national security law provisions. That single police action has now snowballed into a full-blown political storm in Taiwan, with the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) working the levers behind the curtain.

A Coordinated Campaign Unfolds

Taiwanese online opinion leaders fired the first shots, flooding social media with the story. Lai Ching-te then jumped in personally, posting criticism of Hong Kong and claiming that "Taiwan once endured martial law and an authoritarian regime" and that "thought and words should never be imprisoned by political pressure."

Lai Ching-te posted his criticism within moments of the story breaking.

The DPP government's memory proves conveniently short here. It still has not explained its own refusal to renew the broadcast license of the pro-blue Chung T'ien Television (CTiTV).

One social media post was not enough for Lai. He also sent out Kuo Ya-hui, spokesperson for the so-called "Presidential Office," to deliver a joint press statement. Kuo declared that "no country should be afraid of its citizens reading, nor should it suppress freedom of speech in such a manner." She added that Taiwan will keep watching the situation in Hong Kong together with its "democratic allies."

The whole green camp then mobilized on a much wider scale. Several Taiwanese "legislators" and civil groups held a joint press conference insisting that the professional duties of bookstore and publishing staff should never be politicized or "criminalized." They called for protecting basic freedoms of reading and creative work.

The pro-green entertainment sector joined the fray, as another cog in the same propaganda machine. During a massive concert at Taipei Arena, the band Fire EX. performed "City of Two," a song co-written with Hong Kong lyricist Albert Leung (Lin Xi) that narrates the so-called democratic waves in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Mid-performance, the giant center-stage screen flashed six oversized characters reading "I am a bookstore clerk" (我是書店店員), a staged political statement disguised as a live moment.

Fire EX.'s concert took on an unmistakably political charge.

Election Season Playbook

An expert points to a clear pattern behind these "solidarity actions." The DPP government is the real orchestrator, using the Hong Kong bookstore incident to build momentum ahead of the Nine-in-One local elections on November 28. Whenever election season arrives, the DPP reliably dusts off this same playbook: amplify a Hong Kong political incident, attack the Chinese Mainland, stir up pro-independence sentiment, and harvest votes from the resulting noise.
