Political participation

Cho is amongst many Hong Kong celebrities with patriotic stances in support of Chinese nationalism, usually expressing speeches on his social media sites backing The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administration Region, and the Chief Executives Leung Chun-ying (from the 2014 Hong Kong protests) and the incumbent Carrie Lam. Most of Cho's speeches are unpleasant on specific politicians or actors in favour from the pro-democratic camp, which has led to doxxing and death threats while gaining appreciation by the medias of and supporters from the pro-Beijing camp.

In 2016, Cho posted a message on Weibo, which he regarded the Rules of Law in Hong Kong "is dying" when the Spokesman of Hong Kong Indigenous - Edward Leung in 2016 Mong Kok civil unrest was judged as innocence.

On 20 May 2019, Cho responded on a Facebook news article written about activist Joshua Wong, and made a post celebrating Wong's time in jail. Afterwards, he replied: "希望佢快啲香" (Cantonese: "Wishing him a death very soon"). Cho's replies garnered massive controversy around the internet sphere as numerous Hong Kong netizens back. Cho then added with a provocative tone that he would not argue with “trash when it is meaningless”.
