Claudia Mo Man-ching, born in Hong Kong on 18 January 1957 with family roots in Ningbo, Zhejiang, is a veteran Hong Kong journalist and a former member of the Legislative Council who represented Kowloon West from 2012 to 2020. She attended St Paul's Secondary School and later studied in Canada, graduating in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in journalism from Carleton University in Ottawa. After returning to Hong Kong she worked for many years in journalism and broadcasting as a reporter and television news anchor for several stations, covering local and international affairs and hosting current-affairs programmes, and also taught journalism at university level, building up long experience in the media. In 2006 she joined the Civic Party, becoming one of its founding members and moving into politics; she stood unsuccessfully for Hong Kong Island in the 2008 Legislative Council election and won a Kowloon West seat in 2012. In 2013 she joined Gary Fan and others in setting up the political group Hong Kong First, which took a more distinctly localist line, and she was re-elected for Kowloon West in 2016 under that banner. In the council she followed press freedom, ethnic-minority, animal-welfare and district issues with a direct style. In July 2020 she took part in the pro-democracy Legislative Council primaries and won in Kowloon West, after which the election was postponed because of the pandemic; in November that year, unhappy with the National People's Congress Standing Committee's decision on members' qualifications, she resigned en masse with many other pro-democracy lawmakers, ending her council work. In January 2021 she was arrested under the national security law over the primaries; she later pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit subversion, was sentenced in November 2024 to 50 months in prison and was released on 29 April 2025.
