Gordon Zhang MLA is a Canadian politician who is the Member of the British Columbia Legislative Assembly for Richmond-Steveston since 2026.
Zhang is a business professor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he established one of Canada's first N95 respirator production lines in Richmond, which supplied the Canadian Olympic delegation at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
Zhang is also the founder of the Grizzly Bear Institute of Canada, a nonprofit whose mission is to “commission and publish research and policy analysis in economics, natural resources, political science, public administration and international affairs.” The institute, founded in 2017, is accused of having ties to China, though Zhang left the Institute in 2020.
