Chief Secretary for Administration Chen Guoji (circle picture) said that he had written to the International Rugby Council and the Asian Rugby Federation to request a thorough investigation and explanation. Request the Hong Kong police to conduct an in-depth investigation. The Hong Kong Federation and Olympic Committee plans to issue the national flag and national anthem guidelines to the affiliated associations as soon as today. Special personnel and the organizers will provide and follow up the correct national flag and national anthem.
Chen Guoji said yesterday that the wrong subtitle of the Chinese national anthem in the Rugby World Cup clip is absurd and unbelievable. He feels unbelievable about the explanation of the relevant parties. He thinks that the organizer has experience, but the relevant incident happened. The SAR government is dissatisfied and will write to the International Rugby Council and the Asian Rugby Federation to express its strong dissatisfaction and demand a thorough investigation and an explanation. The government will also strongly urge the Hong Kong Rugby Union to formulate a method in the future, so that the expression of the national flag and national anthem can be clearly handed over to the organizer, so that similar incidents cannot happen again. He also said that the Hong Kong police have been asked to conduct an in-depth investigation into the incident, and the SAR government will continue to follow up whether it involves criminal elements.
Hong Kong Association and Olympic Committee to issue guidelines within the fastest day
Wang Minchao, the voluntary secretary-general of the Hong Kong Association and Olympic Committee, said that he plans to issue guidelines on the national flag and national anthem to the affiliated associations, requiring that when participating in international competitions, they should provide the organizers with standard and correct national flags and national anthems, and follow up with special personnel to check before the competition , If there is a mistake at the competition site, the representative should express his opinion immediately, use hand gestures to ask for a timeout and correct it immediately, including “T” or “cross”. Wang Minchao pointed out that responsible for following up the national flag and national anthem must be the most senior personnel in the team, such as team leader, coach and captain. He pointed out that after providing clear guidelines, if the responsible team leader or coach fails to follow the guidelines, he will be dereliction of duty and will be punished. If relevant mistakes occur, the association must be responsible for appealing serious mistakes and complaining to the organizer and the Asian Federation , if ignored, complain to the International Sports Federation or the International Olympic Committee. The Federation of Hong Kong and the Olympic Committee will hold meetings with their affiliates to discuss how to deal with different special situations. In response to inquiries, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau stated that it is discussing the relevant guidelines with the HKSF and Olympic Committee.
After the wrong national anthem was played in the Asian Rugby Series held in South Korea, some netizens discovered that the “15-a-side Rugby World Cup Qualifier International Relics Match” between Hong Kong and Portugal held in Dubai on the 6th of this month was played incorrectly. During the Chinese national anthem, the subtitles of the song titles that pop up in the clips are marked as the titles of songs related to “Hong Kong independence”.
