Chen Ping (born 1955) is a Chinese businessman, investor and media proprietor based in Hong Kong. He is chairman of Sun Television Cybernetworks Enterprise Limited and founded iSun Affairs Weekly Magazine in 2011.[1]
Career
Chen graduated from Anhui Mechanical and Electrical Engineering College in 1973.[2] He subsequently became an investor and founded Sun Television in Hong Kong, which launched as a satellite channel in 2000.
In 2011, Chen founded iSun Affairs, a Chinese-language weekly magazine targeting readers in China and Southeast Asia.[1] The publication won awards for its reporting but suspended its print edition in June 2013 to transition to a digital platform.[3]
Chen later co-founded TideBit, a cryptocurrency exchange, through his TideiSun Group.[4]
Attack
On 3 June 2013, Chen was attacked by two baton-wielding men outside the Sino Favour Centre on Yip Street in Chai Wan, Hong Kong.[5] The attackers struck him on the head; he was treated at Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital.[6]
At a press conference on 5 June 2013, Chen said the attackers remained silent and he could not identify their motives. He reported suffering from tinnitus as a result. Police said the men had planned an escape route to avoid security cameras.[7] The Oriental Daily News later sent a legal letter to Sun TV requesting removal of an online report; Sun TV declined to retract.[5]
