Verified profile
Cheung Chi-ping was one of five Causeway Bay Books-linked people detained in the 2015 cross-border booksellers case. Historical reporting documents his detention and later reappearance in mainland China. Current 2026 custody status is not established by the sources reviewed, so he is not counted as currently imprisoned.
