錯播國歌｜政府要求Google將國歌置頂 將找方法讓《願榮光》「沉底」
The Hong Kong team was competing at the South Korea leg of the Asia Rugby Sevens tournament when the organiser played the wrong song. Asia Rugby explained that a junior staff member had downloaded the national anthem online. The Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau said Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry Sun Dong had met a senior Google executive responsible for public policy and government affairs in the Asia-Pacific region, hoping Google would arrange for China’s national anthem, “March of the Volunteers”, to appear at the top of search results when relevant searches were made. The bureau quoted Google as saying it had confirmed receipt of the written request and would follow up. Chief Secretary for Administration Chan Kwok-ki said the government would find a way to make the erroneous version of the song “sink to the bottom”.
早前亞洲七人欖球賽香港隊於韓國站作賽時，主辦方播錯歌。亞洲欖球總會解釋因為有初級員工在網上下載國歌。創新科技及工業局表示，創科局長孫東已與Google亞太區公共政策及政府事務高層會面，冀對方設定當有相關搜尋時，搜尋結果將中國國歌《義勇軍進行曲》置頂，局方引述Google回覆指已確認收到相關書面要求，並會跟進。政務司長陳國基就指，會找方法令錯誤版本的歌曲「沉底」。

錯國歌案欖總人員錄口供 警檢通訊紀錄
After Hong Hong Kong China Rugby Union teams were repeatedly involved in incidents involving incorrect national anthems being played, police yesterday interviewed some personnel at the Hong Hong Kong China Rugby Union Rugby Union headquarters and seized the union’s communications records. The Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China will meet affiliated associations this Thursday to discuss the relevant new guidelines. Wong Man-chiu, the federation’s honorary secretary general, told this newspaper yesterday that under the new guidelines, if the national anthem is played incorrectly, members of a delegation will be required to immediately make a hand gesture requesting a correction; if no correction is made, they may leave the venue as a group. If the team leader is in the spectators’ stand at the time, those on camera, such as athletes, should immediately make the gesture to signal this. The Hong Kong Paralympic Committee confirmed to this newspaper that it will provide sports associations under its authority with guidelines this week on handling the playing of the national anthem and the raising of the regional flag.

李家超：警方將調查七欖事件是否涉串謀違反「國歌法」
At yesterday’s final of the Korea leg of the Asian Rugby Sevens tournament, the event organisers played “Glory to Hong Kong” during the national anthem segment, prompting the Hong Kong government to issue a statement of protest in the early hours. Chief Executive John Lee said again in the evening that the incident was unacceptable, and that police would investigate whether it involved a conspiracy to violate Hong Kong’s National Anthem Ordinance and other Hong Kong laws. He did not say whether officials would be sent to Korea to investigate.
