I am from HK as well. His nationality is Chinese and Canadian. You can only say he is from Hong Kong and has a Hong Kong passport. but the HKSAR passport, his nationality is still Chinese. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.78.249.151 ( talk) 13:26, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
This has got to stop. His nationality is "Hong Kong", not "China". I am from Hong Kong and I know what I'm talking about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GoodNite AmyLee ( talk • contribs) 22:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Fair enough, and my wife is from China she knows what she's talking about too. I would also add that since 1997 the sovereignty of Hong Kong was handed back to China and henceforth all people from Hong Kong now have nationality Chinese not Hong Kong. Tell me where did people from Hong Kong come from before the British took it over? I thought so, maybe a little national pride is what's needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.233.144.221 ( talk) 00:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Maybe you should ask Chinese people whether he's from China or not. In that case Ding Junhui's page should be changed to the city and flag that he is from too. —Preceding

Does the ruling country that a city is in count when it comes to nationality? I guess Scottish people aren't from the UK then? Especially given that Scotland is more of a country than Hong Kong is, by a long way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.36.37.93 ( talk) 14:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I am from HK, and I suggest that the nationality should be Hong Kong. The main reason behind is that Hong Kong has a seperate governing body for sports, and it is a traditional to state the nationality of sportsmen from Hong Kong as Hong Kong. Hong Kong China maybe, but definitely not China. It's just like the cases of Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland, and England in football. You won't name all those teams as United Kingdom.

I am from hong kong and i've heard him being referred to as the hong kong fui in our triad run snooker halls —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.202.162.240 ( talk) 00:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
It was me who wrote the Nickname: Cue-Man-Fu. I have heard it myself on more than 3 occassions by the current MC, Rob Walker. Rob Walker is also contemplating calling Marco Fu, "Full of Eastern Promise" and Peter Ebdon, "The Force" - he said so himself during a mid-session interval where Hazell interviewed him. I repeat, these are not bogus names. The name, "Hong Kong Fuey" is also an official World Snooker nickname, despite being horrendous in its own right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.27.172 ( talk) 21:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
I reverted an edit that unsourcedly assert that "in Scotland" (why Scotland in particular?) that he is nicknamed both "Fushti Fu" and "Kung Fu". This sounds pretty darned silly, and I think it should be reliably sourced before being added back in. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ cont] ‹(-¿-)› 19:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Quite a bit to do, but I'll put it on hold. Peanut4 ( talk) 21:55, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
"He is best known for" is going to be hard to verify and comes across as POV. Stick to listing his greatest successes in terms of ranking points? -- Dweller ( talk) 14:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
From the intro: "He currently resides in Happy Valley[8]", and from the Personal life chapter: "He currently lives in England with his wife Shirley". So where does he live? - FakirNL ( talk) 08:24, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
The reference cited in support of Happy Valley is a broken link to the worldsnooker.com website. A search of that website turns up a statement that he lives in England. So I corrected Happy Valley to England. Sayitclearly ( talk) 16:31, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Lee, I'm not sure how in line it is with general practice, but I'm somewhat skeptical of the need to use the {{ Infobox Chinese}} template here. It comes across as basically a separate infobox below the main infobox, which feels weird, and looking at its contents, it's about the name rather than the person, something that's already covered in the parenthetical in the first sentence and the hatnote ({{ Family name hatnote}}; personally I prefer {{ efn Chinese name}}, but I'll leave that up to you as the primary author). {{u| Sdkb}} talk 12:00, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
