"Joe Chung" is a writer from Hong Kong, who lives in Norway. He has published five books and numerous magazine articles. In particular, his "I Don't Want to Be Chinese" (:zh:???????/???????), a book which criticises certain aspects of traditional Chinese culture, was a best-seller in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and though banned in mainland China, nevertheless generated controversy on the Internet there, with both support from readers and attacks from critics.

Joe Chung was born in the 1960s in Hong Kong. He became concerned with Chinese politics following the imprisonment of Wei Jingsheng in 1979. In 1991 he completed his Masters degree in sociology at Chinese University of Hong Kong. In the elections of 1994 and 1999 for the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, he represented the Hong Kong Democratic Party in the geographical constituency of Wong Tai Sin but was not elected. In 2001 he openly called for independence of Taiwan and was criticised by the Chinese Communist Party as "more arrogant than Taiwan separatists". He is a frequent contributor to Hong Kong Open magazine. In 2012 he contributed several articles to the Apple Daily regarding National Education in Hong Kong and the sovereignty of the Senkaku Islands.
