Han Bicheng, CEO of BrainCo, and Wang Xingxing, CEO of Unitree Robotics, are among three new additions to John Lee’s advisory council
The Hong Kong chief executive’s Council of Advisers has welcomed three new members, including two tech bosses from Hangzhou’s “Six Little Dragons” and a mainland Chinese economist who was a senior official with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The government on Friday announced the appointment of 34 members to the second term of Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu’s Council of Advisers, with the two-year appointment to start on Tuesday.
Victor Li Tzar-kuoi, chairman of CK Hutchison Holdings, will not remain in the group after his current appointment ends on June 30. Li’s firm has been embroiled in the controversial sale of its overseas ports, including two Panama facilities.
The two tech bosses from Hangzhou appointed to the council are Han Bicheng, CEO of BrainCo, which specialises in brain-machine interfaces, and Wang Xingxing, founder and CEO of humanoid robot maker Unitree Robotics. They are placed under the category of “innovation and entrepreneurship” in the council.
