HONG KONG: Hong Kong is home to a host of democracy activists angering China but one rabble-rouser – a silver-haired former radio host – has been embraced by Beijing for targeting supporters of a split from the mainland.
Straight-talking and a seasoned media operator, Robert Chow is Hong Kong’s most prominent pro-Beijing activist, best-known for orchestrating a public campaign against massive democracy protests in 2014.
