Choy So-yuk, BBS, JP (Chinese: 蔡素玉, born 10 October 1950) is a Hong Kong politician. She is an elected member of Eastern District Council and a Hong Kong Deputy of the National People’s Congress. From 1997 to 2008 she was a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong and its forerunner. Choy is a member of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) and her main supporters are pro-Beijing politicians and organisations, especially the Fujianese in North Point on Hong Kong Island.
Choy was born in Jinjiang, Fujian, China. Her family migrated to Hong Kong when she was very young. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and a Master of Philosophy in Chemistry, both from the University of Hong Kong (1974 and 1980 respectively).
Choy joined the Provisional Legislative Council in 1997, replacing Maria Tam upon the Handover from British to Chinese rule and went on to sit in subsequent Legislative Councils until 2008, representing the Hong Kong Island geographical constituency. She was a member of the (pro-business, pro-Beijing) Hong Kong Progressive Alliance, but ran (and won) for the DAB for the 2000 Legislative Council Election, as part of a joint election strategy by the two parties, made possible through the agreement of the influential Fujian community leaders in the district, who are loyal to her. Her former party anyway merged into the DAB in 2005.
