Chau Chak-wing (born 1949), is a Chinese-Australian property developer known for his Kingold Group business based in Guangzhou, People's Republic of China (PRC).

Journalists and think tanks have reported on Chau's links to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) entities and interests throughout his career.

The group's main interests are property, finance, education, hospitality, healthcare and media.

This was detailed in a file written by the former US Consul General Robert Goldberg, who was based in Guangzhou.

2009

In 2009, Chau told The Age in an interview, "'[t]he Chinese government has found this newspaper very commendable because we never have any negative reporting. Chinese foreign policy expert Bates Gill cited The Australian New Express Daily'' as an example of Chinese government influence.

In 2010, Chau contributed A$20 million, in instalments over ten years, towards the A$150 million construction cost of the Dr Chau Chak Wing Building, part of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), together with an ancillary A$5 million scholarship fund.
