Steven Ho Chun-yin, BBS (; born 30 November 1979), is a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. He represents the functional constituency for Agriculture and Fisheries. He belongs to the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong party.

Background

Ho graduated from University of Birmingham in Communication and Computer System Engineering. He became a member of the Election Committee for Agriculture and Fisheries constituency. Ho was elected in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong as the successor for Wong Yung-kan in 2012 legislative election and retained the seat in the 2016 election.[1] [2]

In February 2021, Ho attacked RTHK, and accused it of spreading "fake news" and slandering the police.[3]

In March 2021, after learning that the Huanggang Port would cost Hong Kong only HK$1,000 a year, with the rest of the costs handled by Shenzhen, Ho said that Hong Kong should pay more and that "We should pay what we should be paying, instead of just taking advantage of them."[4]

On 30 June 2022, Ho was pictured along with CCP general secretary Xi Jinping and other government officials.[5] His COVID-19 test from that day was negative, but was classified as uncertain on his 1 July 2022 test, and positive on his test on 2 July 2022.
