Civic Passion (Chinese: 熱血公民) is a radical,populist, and nativistpolitical group in Hong Kong. Founded and led by activist Wong Yeung-tat until 2016, it holds strong "localist" views and "militant" approach of protest, opposes the involvement of the Chinese central government in the governance of Hong Kong and has called for the downfall of the Communist Party of China. The current leader of the group is its sole legislator Cheng Chung-tai.
The group was founded on 29 February 2012 by Wong Yeung-tat. Wong Yeung-tat was a candidate for the electoral alliance People Power (a radical democratic political party) during the 2012 Legislative Council election in Kowloon East constituency and Civic Passion served as the election campaign vehicle for Wong. After losing the election, Wong denied any relationship with People Power and Civic Passion became non-affiliated with any group.
As an internet activist group, it runs Passion Times (Chinese: 熱血時報), an organisation that publishes printed materials and broadcast internet radio programmes and which has over 300,000 Facebook followers. The group's app was banned in China's Apple App store during the 2014 Hong Kong protests. During the protests, its website suffered distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, during which Passion Times claims its website was hit with up to 200,000,000 requests per second.
