Between 1997 and 2000, Cheung was a councillor for the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Beginning in 2003, he was a non-executive director in multiple holding limited companies including Fuijian Holding, Tongda Financial, and First China Financial. He was an observer for the Independent Police Complaints Council in Hong Kong until 2007.
In 2012, Cheung was elected a member of Legislative Council of Hong Kong, representing the Financial Services functional constituency. He retained his seat in the 2016 election, securing 51 percent of the 507 votes cast.[2][3]
