Ching Chun-ming is an ex officio member of the Yuen Long District Council in Hong Kong for the seventh term (2024–2027). He is chairman of the Shap Pat Heung Rural Committee and, in that capacity, was registered as an ex officio member of the Yuen Long District Council under the District Councils Ordinance after confirmation by the District Council Eligibility Review Committee; he is also an indigenous inhabitant representative of Shui Tsiu San Tsuen in Yuen Long. In March 2021 the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) took action over suspected 'ding rights' fraud in a small-house development project in Yuen Long and arrested a number of people; the ICAC said an indigenous inhabitant village representative and several intermediaries had, since the 1990s, acquired 'ding rights' from Yuen Long indigenous inhabitants to develop the project in Shui Tsiu San Tsuen, and that a developer later reached an agreement with the village representative to develop it jointly. In December 2024 the ICAC said that Wong Kwong-wing, 75, of Wing Kai Construction Company Limited, and Ching Chun-ming, 67, the Shui Tsiu San Tsuen indigenous inhabitant representative, had earlier been charged in another court case with one count of conspiracy to defraud, and that their case was set to be heard in the District Court in February 2025. The Shap Pat Heung Rural Committee was established in 1949 and liaises with government departments, reflects villagers' views, mediates disputes and promotes rural welfare and development. After the 2023 reform the 27 incumbent Rural Committee chairmen were registered as ex officio members, and Ching took office on 1 January 2024. Beyond these public records, little is known about his education and professional background.
