Pro-democracy protest song Glory to Hong Kong has again been played at a sporting finale instead of the city’s official national anthem, China’s March of the Volunteers. It comes amid a weeks-long row over the mix-ups and is the fourth such incident to have emerged this year.

At the Asian Classic Powerlifting Championship in Dubai on Friday, local gold medallist Susanna Lin made the “time out” gesture as Glory to Hong Kong was played during the prize-giving ceremony. After a similar mishap in South Korea, the authorities issued guidelines to sporting bodies insisting that athletes should make the gesture with their arms should they hear the incorrect anthem.

The song – associated with the 2019 protests and unrest – was halted and the correct anthem was played after an almost two-minute delay.

No wonder the arabs are so incapable. Small little matter also cant do it correctly. Dont expect they can accomplish any feat.

And the UAE moon rover can crash land on Moon from Chinese moon mission.

My guess is that the Koreans are doing it deliberately, out of malice, while the Arabs are doing it out of sheer incompetence and ignorance
