In January 2022, Tan was one of three people, out of 90 legislative council members, who took his oath using Mandarin rather than Hong Kong Cantonese.[2]
On 5 January 2022, Carrie Lam announced new warnings and restrictions against social gathering due to potential COVID-19 outbreaks.[3] One day later, it was discovered that Tan attended a birthday party hosted by Witman Hung Wai-man, with 222 guests.[4][5][6] At least one guest tested positive with COVID-19, causing all guests to be quarantined.[6]
According to the information from Chinese companies, Tan is a member of the Chinese Communist Party, which he declined to comment on. Thus, Tan is said to be the "first communist in Hong Kong parliament".[7]
