Chinese star jailed for national anthem insult

A Chinese social media star has been jailed for five days for ‘‘insulting the national anthem’’ in the most high profile case yet brought under a new law. Yang Kaili, 20, who has more than 45 million followers, was arrested after she appeared in a live-streamed video on Oct 7 singing a snippet of the anthem March of the Volunteers in her signature cutesy voice and waving her arms like a conductor.
