"Bill" Tang Ka-piu (Chinese: 鄧家彪, born 29 October 1979) is a Hong Kong politician who currently served as a legislative councillor and district councillor (2007–2019).
Tang ran again in New Territories East during the 2018 by-elections, but was again not elected.[2] It was reported that he spent approximately HK$2.24 million on this campaign, mostly on advertising and meals.[3]
Tang ran in Kowloon East in both the postponed 2020 and 2021 Legislative Council election, and returned to the parliament after the absence of pro-democracy forces.
In August 2022, after Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan, Tang said "China will take resolute and powerful countermeasures to protect its sovereignty and security interests."[4]
In October 2022, Tang was unhappy that medicine made in China was listed as tier 2, whereas other countries' medicine was listed as tier 1.[5]
In December 2022, Tang was part of 3 lawmakers who drafted legislation to reform CUHK's governing council, saying "During the anti-government turmoil in 2019, there was a riot on the campus of CUHK but the attitude and handling of the incident by CUHK were appalling."[6]
According to Tang's January 2022 declaration of assets, he owns a flat in Guangdong.[11]
