Lau was criticized by Chinese state media for appearing in a video where he praised the Hong Kong Golf Club.[1] Lau said that "If public housing is built on the golf course, it will become a political monument," and if that were to happen, housing advocates would then "then aim at other private clubs."[1]

In May 2023, Lau said that Hong Kong should promote red tourism, referring to McDonald's on MacDonnell Road.[2]
