Hong Kong officials are investigating the playing of a protest song during the men's final of the Sevens Series rugby tournament in South Korea. The incident has riled Hong Kong authorities as the song is banned in the city. The song is considered the unofficial anthem of the 2019 pro-democracy movement. It was banned in 2020 after China imposed sweeping national security laws on the city state. Hong Kong police said China's national anthem should have been played at the match instead.
