Chinese teenager seeks votes in Euro poll

Like many Chinese immigrants of his generation and before, Steven Cheung was thrown deep into the vastly different culture of the West and expected to adjust fast.

Eight years later, the 19-year-old has not only settled well into his new London home, but he wants to help other Chinese residents do the same by being the first person of Chinese ethnicity in the UK to stand for election to the European Parliament.

Born to a Chinese father and Filipino mother in Hong Kong, Cheung left the special administrative region for the United Kingdom when he was 11.
