'''Causeway Bay Books''' (銅鑼灣書店), is an [[independent bookstore]] and [[upstairs bookstore]] in Hong Kong.<ref name="樓上書店"/><ref name="紫荊2007"/> It is very popular with tourists from the mainland looking for books on Chinese politics and politicians that are not available in the People's Republic of China. In late 2015, [[Causeway Bay Books disappearances|five people linked to it disappeared]].
== History ==
It was founded in 1994 by [[Lam Wing-kei]]. Located in Hong Kong Island on the second floor at 531 [[Lockhart Road]], Causeway Bay, the store occupies an area of nearly {{convert|300|sqft}}.<ref name="樓上書店"/> This bookstore, in addition to general literary history books, the store also sells a lot of books on topics that are considered sensitive and therefore banned in [[People's Republic of China|China]].<ref name="AutoP8-2"/> Many mainland Chinese people coming to Hong Kong as tourist will make a special trip to the bookstore to purchase books on politics.<ref name="AutoP8-3"/>
In 2014, Lam Wing-kei sold the bookstore to Mighty Current Media Ltd., but stayed on as its manager. From September 2014, the company had three shareholders: Gui Minhai (34%), Sophie Choi (34%) and Lui Bo (32%).<ref name="AutoP8-4"/> According to industry sources, Mighty Current is a prolific publisher with a number of publishing subsidiaries, and this group may be responsible for 30 to 60 percent of the output of salacious books about Chinese political figures that are widely available at newsstands and in book stores, including one at Hong Kong International Airport.<ref name=20160105nytimes/>
