The Spin
Anti-China narrative
As ridiculous as it sounds, Beijing loyalists have banned a song — both lyrics and melody — on the grounds that the protest anthem threatens national security in Hong Kong. And while that move can affect even people whistling on the streets, the goal is to force censorship on tech giants' platforms. China's one country, two systems, is effectively over.
Pro-China narrative
It's great news that the local judicial system has finally prohibited the dissemination of the controversial "Glory to Hong Kong" song, which was used to incite separatism and insult the national anthem. Despite baseless claims attempting to smear China, this injunction doesn't threaten the freedom of speech and legitimate activities related to the song.
