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

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 Chun-wah’s mother arrives at Mong Kok Police Station for questioning.

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.

Wanted: Wong Chun-wah

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.

Zhang Xinyan was a member of the 'Hong Kong Parliament' wanted by the Hong Kong police. She was first detained by Thai police.

But on August 3, she was allowed to fly. She left Bangkok for Vancouver, Canada.

Zhang Xinyan, a wanted member of the 'Hong Kong Parliament'.

The Globe and Mail reports Zhang is a Falun Gong practitioner. In China, Falun Gong is banned. It is listed as an illegal organization.

Zhang had been living in Thailand since 2014. In May, Thai police discovered she had overstayed her visa. They detained her in Bangkok.

Zhang was originally scheduled to fly to Vancouver. But at the last moment before boarding, Thai police discovered her and detained her.

The 'Hong Kong Parliament' is an illegal outfit based in Toronto. It recruits worldwide. Zhang, living in Thailand, signed up. She became one of 15 members.

Then the Hong Kong Police National Security Department put a price on their heads. A HK$200,000 bounty was offered for several members, Zhang included. The charge: subverting state power, a crime under the Hong Kong National Security Law.

Reactions: Canada as a 'Gathering Place for Scum'

Zhang was reportedly applying to immigrate to Canada when she was detained.

Canada later confirmed it would take her, the thinking goes. So Thailand sent her on her way.

Canadians are split on taking in these political refugees. Some Hong Kong immigrants in Canada say the more political dissidents Canada accepts, the more it stirs up local resentment toward ethnic minorities.

Some netizens commented: Sending scum to Canada is actually quite good, making Canada a scum haven!
