Chris Tang Ping-keung

Chris Tang Ping-keung is Hong Kong's Secretary for Security. Recently, he has been in the news for announcing plans to replace emergency fax messaging with a digital system, increasing phone lines at call centers, and launching a rehabilitation program for those arrested during the 2019 protests. He has also revealed that authorities are reviewing fire safety laws to expand enforcement powers and toughen penalties on illegal fuel sales. Additionally, he has expressed concerns over the lack of parking at the Huanggang border checkpoint and discussed the use of 'hidden gurus' to decrypt devices in national security cases. The terrorism threat level remains moderate amid the Middle East war, according to Tang. He has also been involved in a probe into 'crash-for-cash' scams and has announced plans for tougher fire safety rules. The number of suspected scams involving unusually high compensation claims for minor or non-existent traffic accidents has doubled to over 70 in less than a week.
