Hong Kong industrialist Tang Hsiang-chien, the father of former chief secretary Henry Tang, has died at the age of 95.

A statement from the family said Tang died peacefully on Saturday morning.

Born into a textile family from Wuxi in Jiangsu Province, Tang moved his business to Hong Kong in the 1950s.

In politics, Tang sat on the Preparatory committee for the SAR in the lead-up to the handover, and was also a former member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Committee.

In a statement, Chief Executive Carrie Lam offered her condolences to the family.

She said Tang had contributed a lot to the establishment of the SAR, and had also supported the reform and opening up of China.
