Fernando Cheung Chiu-hung (張超雄; born 23 February 1957, Macau) is a Hong Kong politician, the vice-chairman of the Labour Party, he is a former member of the Legislative Council.
Cheung worked in the United States from 1988, and became a naturalized United States citizen. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1990, and worked as a physician. He also served as the head of an Asian rights organization (屋崙華人服務社) in San Francisco.
After he moved back to Hong Kong in 1996, he became a lecturer at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He became the vice-convener of Civil Human Rights Front in 2002. He had close relationship with the pro-democrats. He joined the functional constituency of social welfare of the Legislative Council in June, 2004. He defeated Cheung Kwok-chu by a razor-thin 64 votes. After he won the election, he refused to visit Beijing on 30 September 2004 with nine other pro-democratic legislators; choosing to protest on that day for Hong Kong citizens instead.
Cheung introduced a motion for the referendum on universal suffrage for the 2007 chief executive elections in Hong Kong. The Chinese government had warned Hong Kong's pro-democracy legislators not to hold a referendum on universal suffrage for 2007/08. After three members of the democratic camp said they would not vote for his motion at the Legislative Council's constitutional affairs panel meeting, he said,
| “ | Perhaps the three councillors feared that a referendum was legally binding in nature and hence their reluctance to support my motion. I believe every democrat lawmaker still accepts the 2007-08 target. Voting against my motion does not mean they have abandoned hope of universal suffrage. | ” |
He has also said that if the motion cannot be passed, he would hold an unofficial referendum.
His paternal grandmother is a native of Peru.
