Unmasked Chinese fake quits HK – but keeps phony persona

Summary:
An American who posed as a Hong Kong, Chinese man - who wrote anti-China articles - has been outed by Grayzone.  The Grayzone said that Twitter user Kong Tsung-gan first emerged in 2015, with commentaries about the Occupy Movement. Until late last year, a black-and-white mugshot of an unknown Asian person was used as the account's avatar. In one blog post, he claimed he attended a Band 1 government school - which led readers to believe he was a Hong Kong native. "Kong," the author of Liberate Hong Kong: Stories From The Freedom Struggle, was popular with Western media who often referred to him as a Hong Kong writer and activist. But Blumenthal questioned if people were aware that it was in fact a Chinese persona adopted by an American man. The Standard  Unmasked
