Harry Harding (born 16 June 1990 in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia), also known as Hazza Harding and simply his stage name Hazza, is a journalist, television presenter, radio host and singer previously based in China. His debut single, "Let Go", was released on iTunes 8 August 2012, along with a music video that was shot in Australia. Hazza won "Most Popular Internet Celebrity 2011" at the 56.com Short film awards ceremony in Beijing. On November 23, 2020, Hazza announced via his Twitter account that his single "I Was Wrong" had peaked at No.5 on a national music chart in China, broadcast on more than 25 radio stations across mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao. Hazza stepped down as host of Guangdong Report on August 31, 2022, the same day that the OHCHR Assessment of human rights concerns in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China, was issued, delivering an unscripted farewell message to viewers, a practice frowned upon within China’s heavily controlled state media system. Since exiting China, Harding has also spoken openly about experiencing discrimination and targeting during the COVID-19 pandemic in China as a foreigner in the country.
