Mr Cheng, who is 28 and also goes by the name Simon, travelled to Shenzhen, the city just across the border from Hong Kong, to attend a business conference Aug 8 but did not return the same day, as planned, his family said in a statement on Wednesday (Aug 21) morning. It said a lawyer had confirmed his detention in Shenzhen but not the reasons for it nor his whereabouts.
Mr Cheng, a Hong Kong resident, worked for the consulate’s branch of Scottish Development International, a trade and investment promotion office, according to family members and his Facebook biography.
He holds a British national overseas passport, which entitles him to consular representation but does not allow him to work or live in Britain.
