Rock Chen Chung-nin, SBS, JP (Chinese: 陳仲尼; born 6 June 1966) is a Hong Kong investment manager and politician who has been a member of the Legislative Council since 2022. He is also one of the vice-chairmen of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and the chairman of two investment firms.[1]

On 5 January 2022, Carrie Lam announced new warnings and restrictions against social gathering due to potential COVID-19 outbreaks.[2] One day later, it was discovered that Chen attended a birthday party hosted by Witman Hung Wai-man, with 222 guests.[3][4][5] At least one guest tested positive with COVID-19, causing many guests to be quarantined.[5] Additionally, Chen brought one of his staff members to the party, and the next day, the staff member visited the Legislative Council Complex and Citic Tower.[6]

In February 2022, Chen told SCMP that he would be attending the 2022 Two Sessions, as a Hong Kong delegate.[7]
