Adrian Ho
Hong Kong politician
Adrian Pedro Ho King-hong (Chinese: 何敬康; born 1977) is a Hong Kong politician and businessman. In 2022, he was elected to the Legislative Council as an election committee constituency member.
Early life and education
Ho was born into a politically well-connected family from Macau. His paternal uncle is former Chief Executive of Macau Edmund Ho. After attending La Salle Primary School in Hong Kong, Ho continued his education in the UK at Repton. He graduated from Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania in the US.
Politics
In 2019, Ho founded a pro-beijing Facebook group “SaveHK” which became the largest group with 200,000 members at one point. The group was suspended by Meta in late 2022. After four incumbent members of the LegCo resigned in June 2022 to join the Lee administration, by-elections were held on 18 December to fill in the remaining seats. Ho won a seat as member of the New People's Party in the election committee constituency with 833 votes.
In January 2022, Ho argued that "It is an undemocratic act in and of itself, to attempt to measure or quantify democracy" and said that "The Chinese approach to democracy is pragmatic, and Hong Kong must shake off its belief in the 'fantasy of Western-style democracy'."
In October 2022, Ho said that General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Xi Jinping made an "ingenious speech" and said that the city had "successfully navigated through such political turmoil, with the enactment of the National Security Law and the reform of the electoral system - transitioning from chaos to governance and ushering in a new era of prosperity."
In December 2022, Ho said that Hong Kong's most deep-rooted problem was Hongkongers' lack of national identity.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Adrian Ho” as hong Kong politician. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as hong Kong politician. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q115861679. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1977, 2022 and 2019.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
