Robert Hotung

Robert Hotung (Justice of the Peace, Knight Bachelor of the British Empire) is a Businessperson and Diplomat.

Born from a Dutch father and Chinese mother, Robert Hotung is an unlikely candidate for the Executive Committee. “The Grand Old Man of Hong Kong” has served as a director of many large companies in Hong Kong and has a large influence in the colony.

He is a strong supporter of Sun, having also graduated from Hong Kong’s Queens College.

The richest man of Hong Kong has financed most of Sun’s revolutionary activities. His connections with the British and sound business acumen have led Sun to give him a seat within the Executive Committee in an advisory capacity.
