The Department of Justice applied to the Court for an injunction and a temporary injunction to prohibit four unlawful acts relating to the song "May Glory Return to Hong Kong". The convener of the guild and chairman of the New People's Party, Ip Lau Suk-yee, said today (4th) that she was pleased to see the Department of Justice's approach.

She pointed out that the reason for applying for the injunction was that "May Glory" was misbroadcast as Hong Kong's national anthem on many occasions in many international competitions in the past, erasing the efforts of the Hong Kong team. In addition, in the Tong Yingjie case, the court's judgment had already specified where the "red line" was, referring to the words "May Glory" as incitement to separatism, so it held that the application for an injunction did not involve restricting the freedom to self-deliberate.

It is said that the Hong Kong team has worked hard but has no international attention because of "May Glory"

Ip Liu said that the Department of Justice applied for a ban on the broadcast of "May Glory" in response to the misbroadcast of "May Glory" as the national anthem of Hong Kong in different international competitions, and even though the Hong Kong team worked hard to achieve good results, it still could not achieve international attention for the performance of the Hong Kong team.

She added that in the past, the Hong Kong government has repeatedly negotiated with Google to find a solution, but in the end it has not yielded results. In the case of Tong Yingjie, the court had set out a red line, pointing out that the lyrics in "May the Glory" involved inciting separatism, so it was appropriate for the Department of Justice to apply for an injunction.

In today's iTunes music charts, the top eight are all versions of "May Glory", I asked what this reflected? According to Ip Lau Suk-yee, this means that some people want to spread inflammatory and subversive songs as soon as possible without the prohibition order.

Lu Wenduan: Songs have caused great harm to the country and Hong Kong

Lu Wenduan, vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, said after a forum that "May Glory" has been broadcast internationally many times, which has greatly affected Hong Kong. He supported the government's approach, arguing that the government did not prohibit citizens from singing, but that "May Glory" "cause great harm to the country and Hong Kong", and believed that it was very inappropriate for the song to remain after the Hong Kong National Security Law came into effect, and called on the downloaded public to delete and not forward it.
