In 2013, Chung was accused of making racist comments in a LegCo debate, during which he described foreigners as "flawed by nature", that they "knew nothing about Hongkong" and therefore were not fit to manage the West Kowloon Cultural District project. He is widely known by the nickname "Tree Gun", direct translation and transliteration of the two characters of his Chinese name, respectively.
