Michael "Mike" Hanson (born c. 1930s–1940s, Chinese: 韓新) is a Hong Kong press secretary, mostly remembered as the spin doctor[1] and the head of Governor Chris Patten's war room from 1992 to 1994. He was responsible for promoting Patten's controversial 1994 Hong Kong electoral reform, which became a political storm that eventually hampered a smooth handover of Hong Kong to China. Hanson is also remembered by the public and the media for being the first official to introduce political PR into the government [1][2] and for being the government's refugee co-ordinator of
Vietnamese asylum seekers in Hong Kong.[3]
Hanson was the head of political public relations[note 1] of the British Hong Kong government (1991 - October 1994).[5] In addition, he took the role as the personal press secretary of Chris Patten (1992 - October 1994), the last Governor of British Hong Kong.
