Scholar: Hongkongers Boo Chinese National Anthem in form of Resistance
Dr Kim-Wah Chung, Deputy of the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#PORI) was recently invited to web media programme titled "In- and Outside the Council".
Chung described how Hongkongers entrusted the emotions from the pro-demicracy protest by cheering slogans like "Keep Fighting, Hong Kong" during the Tokyo Olympics Games.
Chung pointed out that booing the Chinese National Anthem was a misbehaviour in the past but has now become popular.
He said the authorities should "think about the reason behind it", and the responsibilities they bore.
Chung said that the PRC's national sports team performed well in recent years, but he also pointed out that "if a regime tries to cover up something through sports achievement", there no interest to show support for them".
He then used PRC athlete Chen Qingchen who swore a lot during the competition, as an example of the
misbehaviour of the Chinese sportsmen under "wolf warrior position".
Nowadays, the Chinese netizens showing their supports to Chen while publicly denouncing the artists who support Taiwanese sportsmen. Chung described it as "unreasonable".
He believed that the atmosphere in China in recent years has turned many thing in the name of "insulting China", similar to the ban on shouting 'HKers, never give up' as Hong Kong Independent", showing the extreme ethnic emotion. He indicated that the Chinese government more or less enhances this phenomenon, but the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. "It is the expansion of self-consciousness, which is dangerous."

Speaking to the media, Chu thanked Hongkongers for their support and asked the public to continue supporting Hong Kong athletes and anyone who likes to do sport, regardless of their levels and categories.
"Whether they are elite athletes or athletes with potentials, the spectators can hardly witness their hardwork, injuries and difficulties in the long process of training," Chu said.
"The 30 minutes seen by the spectators in a match worthes perhaps 10 years of practices, for one to shine in the field."
Chu reminded his fellow Hongkongers, "Please support Hong Kong athletes, whether they are able-body or not, professional or amateur. Do support anyone who likes doing sport. Do enjoy sport."

Man who Posted Video of Olympic Gold Ceremony with "Glory to Hong Kong" Now Charged with "Insulting National Anthem of China"
When Hong Kong fencer #CheungKaLong won a #GoldMedal at the #TokyoOlympics in July 2021, many Hongkongers were overjoyed. Among them, a 27-year-old man published a video of the medal ceremony on the Internet, replacing the audio of China's national anthem with "Glory to Hong Kong," an anthem of the 2019 #AntiELAB movement.

The case was heard in the Eastern Magistrates on July 22, 2022. The man was not represented by any counsel. The magistrate accepted the man's request to postpone the hearing to September 2, 2022, so that the man can look for a lawyer.

Hong Kong's First case charged by #NationalAnthemOrdinance for holding the British Hong Kong flag
In 2021, Hong Kong athlete Cheung Ka-Long won a gold medal on foil fencing at the Tokyo Olympic Games. The livestream of the game gathered people at a shopping mall in Kwun Tong on the day of the finals on July 26, 2021.
Police investigation followed, as the police claimed that some people misbehaved when the Chinese national anthem was played.
The police arrested an online media journalist, for reportedly holding a British Hong Kong flag when the Chinese national anthem was heard.
The man is the first Hong Kong citizen being arrested under #NationalAnthemOrdinance. He was being charged for insulting the national flag after a year of the event.
The case was first trialed on the afternoon of July 22, 2022. Since the counsel of the defendent requested more time to obtain the documents from prosecutor, Judge #LauSukHan approved the request and schedule the trial to September 9, 2022.
The defendant was allowed to go on bail with $5000. He has to hand in his travel documents and report at the police station once a week.
