Christopher Chung Shu-kun, BBS, JP (Chinese: 鍾樹根; born 31 March 1957, commonly known as "Tree Gun") was elected to the Legislative Council of Hong Kong in 2012, representing the Hong Kong Island constituency. He is also former chairman of Eastern District Council, and a former councillor from 1991 to 2015, representing the Yue Wan constituency. He is a veteran member of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, the flagship pro-Beijing party in Hong Kong.
Chung was born in Hong Kong in 1957. He was inspired by Mao Zedong Thought when he was young and joined the pro-Beijing organisation Hok Yau Club in 1974, where he went on to become its president. During the 1980s when the colonial government introduced elections to the District Boards, he participated in the discussion in the club which decided not to participate.
He first contested in the 1988 District Board elections, where he initially considered standing in North Point, but switched with Chan Yuen-han and ran in Chai Wan, where he lost the Reform Club's Brook Bernacchi and nonpartisan Wong Ming-kuen. In 1989, Chung represented the club to join the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 in China but left after a half year.
