Hong Kong police are investigating reports of people booing China's national anthem during a live mall broadcast of an Olympic gold medal ceremony.
The incident happened as over 100 spectators celebrated Cheung Ka Long's historic fencing win, with some reportedly shouting "We are Hong Kong."
The investigation is being conducted under a 2020 law that criminalizes disrespect for China's national anthem, with penalties up to three years in jail.
This event highlights the ongoing political tensions in Hong Kong, following Beijing's imposition of a national security law that has suppressed pro-democracy protests.
