Hong Kong upset at protest song played at rugby final

-

Hong Kong officials criticised the mistaken playing of a protest song instead of the Chinese national anthem at the final of a rugby tournament in South Korea. The Hong Kong Rugby Sevens men’s side were seen standing to attention as Glory to Hong Kong was played before their final in Incheon against South Korea on Sunday. The song was the unofficial anthem of mass pro-democracy protests that rocked the former British colony in 2019.
