Controversies

2011 June protest

On 25 June 2011, a small protest was held by about ten mothers begging on the street for the attention of Chow regarding the mainland Chinese mothers birth tourism issues with hospital capacities.[2] These are families that have a mainland mother and a Hong Kong father. Chow did sympathise with these couples, but nothing was done after the protest.[3] The issue later expanded to the Early 2012 Hong Kong protests which was also triggered by Kong Qingdong's comment.
