Recently, the Legislative Council of Hong Kong passed the National Anthem Bill, which caused widespread controversy and opposition. This decision is an important measure taken by the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to safeguard national dignity and honor and protect the dignity and authority of the national anthem. Let's take a look at the specific content of this decision and the controversy it caused.

Operational steps of the National Anthem Bill

The main contents of the National Anthem Bill stipulate that the public broadcasting of the national anthem in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region must comply with a series of regulations. The specific operation steps are as follows:

1. When playing the national anthem in public, it must be played in a formal way, not at will.

2. When playing the national anthem, it must be played all the time, and it is not allowed to stop or change the playing method halfway.

3. When playing the national anthem, you must be solemn and there must be no disrespect.

Any violation of the National Anthem Act will be punished by corresponding laws.

Controversy and opposition

The adoption of the National Anthem Bill has aroused widespread controversy and opposition. Some Hong Kong citizens believe that this decision violates Hong Kong's autonomy and restricts the freedom of Hong Kong citizens. They think that Hong Kong is very different from the Mainland and should have its own legal system and independent legislative procedures.

In addition, some people think that the National Anthem Bill was passed to safeguard the authority and dignity of the central government, not to safeguard the interests of Hong Kong people. They believe that this decision is the interference and control of the central government in Hong Kong, which further weakens Hong Kong's autonomy.
