Peter Wong Tung-shun,JP (born November 1951, inBritish Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong banker associated with theHSBC,StanChart andCiti. He retired as CEO of HSBC Asia-Pacific and became non-executive chairman ofThe Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, effective 7 June 2021.[2] He holds aBComm degree from theUniversity of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, amaster's degree incomputer science and another master's degree inmarketing andfinance fromIndiana University in theUnited States.[3]
He is[when?] one of the 124 members of Hong Kong's delegation to theChinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
In 2020, in a highly symbolic act that ended the bank's previous political neutrality, Wong signed a public petition supporting the Chinese leadership's creation of a far-reachingnational security law for Hong Kong. The move was understood as politically necessary to avoid punitive action against the bank by Beijing but drew widespread international and local Hong Kong criticism.[1][5]
