In December 2021, it was reported that Wong was eligible to vote four times in the 2021 Hong Kong legislative election, yielding 0.0371484% of the total voting value (elected seats), which is 7475 times more than the value of an average voter's total voting value.[2]
According to Wong's January 2022 declaration of assets, he owns shares in about 40 separate companies.[3]
In July 2022, Wong was one of 18 DAB lawmakers who argued that businesspeople should have their own quarantine hotel rooms in Shenzhen, separate from the rest of the population going from Hong Kong to Shenzhen, who use a ballot system to allocate rooms.[4]
In August 2022, Wong announced that he would travel to Indonesia to clarify misconceptions about Hong Kong, and discuss "the true situation in Hong Kong, because unfortunately the international media has not properly reported the whole situation, in particular what really happened in 2019 and what the Hong Kong government as well as different sectors are [doing] to bring us to the next level."[5]
